Alex Iwobi showcased his impressive form once again, netting a stunning goal for Fulham in their Premier League clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The versatile midfielder, who had faced criticism from fans of the Nigerian national team, silenced his detractors with an outstanding performance for Marco Silva’s side.
Deployed on the right flank, Iwobi wasted no time in silencing his critics. In the 19th minute, the 28-year-old delivered a moment of brilliance to open the scoring.
Following a build-up on the left, Kenny Tete received a cross-field pass and laid it off to Iwobi.
In a display of audacity and skill, the former Arsenal man unleashed a perfectly struck shot with his weaker foot that soared past goalkeeper José Sá, giving Fulham the lead in spectacular fashion.
The goal, which was Iwobi’s second in four appearances for Fulham, according to data courtesy of FotMob, has not only silenced his critics but also sparked widespread admiration across social media for his exceptional display.
