Iwobi's Goal Leads Fulham to First EPL Win of the Season

Iwobi's Goal Leads Fulham to First EPL Win of the Season

Alex Iwobi scored the decisive goal in Fulham's 1-0 victory against Hull City at Craven Cottage, marking Fulham's first Premier League win of the season. Iwobi's goal came in the 33rd minute after Hull City failed to clear the ball.

Sander Berge assisted Iwobi, whose low shot deflected off Lucas Herrington and went past goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis. This goal was Iwobi's first league goal of the season and his 36th in 327 Premier League appearances, tying him with Peter Odemwingie among Nigerian players.

Following the match, Iwobi stated on Fulham TV that the win was overdue and expressed hope that the team could use this victory as a platform to improve their performance for the rest of the season. Fulham, under the management of Alvaro Arbeloa, who took over from Marco Silva in July, had previously gone six league games without a win and now has five points, moving off the bottom of the table.

Iwobi had created 13 chances prior to this match without scoring or assisting.
