Tim Sherwood Calls Alex Iwobi Underrated After Goal
Tim Sherwood, a former winner with Blackburn Rovers and ex-manager of Tottenham Hotspur, described Alex Iwobi as one of the most underrated players in the Premier League following Fulham's 1-0 victory over Hull City on Saturday. The match, held at Craven Cottage, saw Iwobi score the decisive goal in the 33rd minute, assisted by Sander Berge after Hull failed to clear the ball.
Iwobi's shot deflected and went under Hull's goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis. This goal was Iwobi's first of the season, ending a six-game drought without a goal or assist, despite creating 13 chances.
With this goal, he reached 36 Premier League goals in 327 appearances, tying him with Peter Odemwingie among Nigerian players. The win was significant for Fulham, marking their first of the season and the first under manager Alvaro Arbeloa, lifting them off the bottom of the table.
Fellow Super Eagles players Calvin Bassey and Semi Ajayi participated in the match, playing for Fulham and Hull, respectively.
