In the second round of the Premier League, Fulham drew 1-1 with Manchester United at home. After the game, Fulham defender Bassie was interviewed by the BBC and talked about the penalty kick and Manchester United's goals.

Talking about penalty kicks

"Now looking back, I may have used too much force, but in that case, I have to protect myself and be in a position to compete for the ball. You have seen fouls judged and have been unjusted. When you play back in slow motion, it will always be judged for fouls. The referee needs to take into account the difference in strength. If the opponent is as tall as me, it will not look so serious."

Talking about Manchester United Goal

"For me, obviously he pushed me from behind with his hands, and Yoro created an advantage for himself to compete for the top. If there was no contact, I would stand up and grab him, and he obviously stopped me from grabbing the ball, which in my opinion should be an obvious foul."
