We don’t fear any opponent – Nigeria’s Alex Iwobi after Fulham’s narrow win over Sunderland

Nigeria international Alex Iwobi insists Fulham hold no fear in the Premier League following narrow victory over Sunderland.

The 29-year-old midfielder started and played for 89 minutes as his outfit cruised to a 1-0 victory over Sunderland at the Craven Cottage. Mexico international Raul Jiménez emerged as the hero for Fulham, scoring in the 84^th minutes to snatch victory for the home team.

Despite Fulham’s early-season struggles away from home, Iwobi remains confident about their chances in the current campaign.

Iwobi played alongside teammates Calvin Bassey and Samuel Chukwueze, with the latter coming off the bench to set up Raul Jimenez’s decisive goal.

Fulham have now won all four of their league victories at Craven Cottage, and Iwobi stressed the importance of protecting their home form.

“Our home form has been really good,” he said, noting that Sunderland were “a tough side” but Fulham “have the belief that we can perform against anyone.”

Iwobi admitted the team missed several chances, saying, “It was almost one of those where you wonder if it will ever go on,” but he credited the squad for staying focused: “Credit to the lads, we kept on believing and thank god one of them went in.”

He added that Fulham “don’t fear anyone in the league” and highlighted the need for consistency. Iwobi explained that the team had worked on different ways to break Sunderland down and emphasized the importance of keeping clean sheets, saying they will “always create chances to score.”
