Iwobi Leads Fulham to First Premier League Victory

Alex Iwobi scored his first goal of the 2026/27 Premier League season in a match against Hull City, securing Fulham's first league win of the season. His 33rd-minute strike marked his 36th goal in 327 Premier League appearances, making him joint-sixth among Nigerian players for most Premier League goals, alongside Peter Odemwingie.

Fulham's head coach Alvaro Arbeloa, who took over from Marco Silva in July, described the victory as "massive" as it came after six winless league matches. The win lifted Fulham to five points, moving them out of the relegation zone, while Hull remained in ninth place.

Arbeloa noted the significance of upcoming matches against Coventry and an EFL Cup tie against Crystal Palace, calling it a "massive week." The only downside for Fulham was the red card received by Ryan Sessegnon in added time. Arbeloa expressed satisfaction with his team's performance, stating they controlled the game and deserved the win.
