Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi produced another impressive display by registering an assist as Fulham secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace in Saturday’s Premier League clash.
Softfootball understands that Iwobi continued his fine form for Marco Silva’s side, taking his tally for the season to two goals and one assist after 11 league appearances.
Fulham opened the scoring through Emile Smith Rowe after Raul Jimenez set up the midfielder, who calmly finished past Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
The visitors’ afternoon went from bad to worse in the closing stages when Daichi Kamada was shown a straight red card for a dangerous challenge on Kenny Tete, reducing Palace to 10 men.
Fulham capitalised on the numerical advantage moments later as substitute Harry Wilson sealed the victory by finishing off a brilliant pass from Iwobi.
Fellow Nigerian international Calvin Bassey also featured prominently for the Cottagers, completing the full 90 minutes to make his 11th Premier League appearance of the campaign.
The victory provides another boost for Fulham as they continue their strong start to the season, with both Nigerian internationals playing important roles in the club’s latest success.
