Calvin Bassey made his 100th Fulham appearance while Alex Iwobi returned to action as the Cottagers were held to a 1-1 draw by Wolves in their Premier League clash at Molineux Stadium on Sunday.
Iwobi made his first start since sustaining an injury against Brentford on 18 April, while Bassey earned his 27th league start this season
It marked a huge milestone for the Super Eagles defender who joined Fulham from Ajax in 2023. The 26-year-old has scored four goals for the club since then, including one this season.
Wolves had stunned Fulham with a 25th minute goal by youngster Mateus Mané, giving them a 1-0 lead. However, the visitors responded just before half time as Antonee Robinson scored from the spot, making it 1-1.

In the 67th minute, Alex Iwobi was replaced by Joshua King with Fulham searching for a winner. They dominated possession, but failed to create enough threatening opportunities, as Wolves held on.
The hosts got some chances of their own, and even looked more likely to score, but they could only muster one shot on target in the second half. At the end, both sides had to settle for a point each.
The result means that Wolves can still finish 19th in the Premier League this season. They sit two points behind Burnley who face Arsenal in their next game.
Meanwhile, Fulham’s European dreams are close to fading away once again. The Cottagers are now 12th in the league with 49 points, three points behind eight-placed Brentford.
