EPL: Goal and assist for Nigeria international Alex Iwobi in 3-1 away win

Alex Iwobi scored and assisted as Fulham beat Sunderland 3-1 at the Stadium of Light to strengthen their Premier League campaign on Sunday.

The Nigeria international played a decisive role in the matchday 27 fixture, influencing key moments as Fulham secured an important away victory.

After a goalless first half, the breakthrough came eight minutes into the second period.

Iwobi delivered a corner from the right in the 53rd minute, and his cross was met by Raúl Jiménez, whose header found the net to give the visitors a 1-0 advantage.

Sunderland attempted to respond and push for an equaliser, but Fulham remained composed and looked dangerous on the counter-attack.

As the home side committed players forward in search of a way back into the contest, spaces began to open up.

Fulham capitalised late on. In the 84th minute, Harry Wilson set up Iwobi, who finished calmly with his left foot to score his side’s third goal of the afternoon and put the result beyond doubt at 3-1.

Iwobi’s contribution underlined his growing influence in Fulham’s attacking play this season.

The goal takes his tally to three goals and three assists in 21 Premier League appearances, highlighting his consistency and importance within the squad.

Starting the match at the Stadium of Light, the 29-year-old was involved throughout, linking play and providing energy in forward areas.

His delivery from set-pieces and ability to arrive in decisive positions proved crucial in breaking down Sunderland’s resistance.

The win ensures Fulham leave Wearside with maximum points, with Iwobi once again at the heart of their attacking success.
