Chukwueze Inspires Fulham's Comeback with Goal in Premier League Win

Nigerian winger Chukwueze played a crucial role in Fulham's 2-1 comeback win against Brighton in the Premier League. Coming off the bench in the 59th minute, Chukwueze scored in the 72nd minute to level the game, showcasing his skill and impact.

Former Arsenal forward Paul Merson praised Chukwueze's goal, comparing it to Thierry Henry's trademark finish. The match saw Fulham complete a turnaround with Harry Wilson's stoppage-time free-kick securing the three points.

Chukwueze's goal marked his return from the Africa Cup of Nations, where Nigeria finished third after defeating Egypt in a penalty shootout. Fulham manager Marco Silva expressed delight at the return of Chukwueze and his Nigerian teammates, Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassie, emphasizing their influence on and off the pitch.

Silva highlighted the trio's absence in recent weeks and their importance in boosting the team's competitiveness and leadership.
