A moment of individual brilliance from Alex Iwobi wasn’t enough to spare Fulham from a heavy home defeat, as Wolverhampton Wanderers ran out 4-1 winners at Craven Cottage in Saturday’s Premier League fixture.
Softfootball learnt that Iwobi’s early goal — his third of the league season — was a genuine moment of quality, curling home to give the Cottagers a promising start against a Wolves side that had struggled for results earlier in the campaign.
Matheus Cunha responded in style for the visitors, scoring twice to help turn the match decisively in Wolves’ favor as Fulham’s afternoon unraveled.
The defeat leaves Fulham sitting in the middle of the Premier League table, while Wolves move further away from the relegation zone with a result that will provide a real confidence boost heading into a busy run of fixtures.
For Marco Silva’s side, questions will now turn to defensive frailties that undid an otherwise promising start to the match.
