Super Eagles star Alex Iwobi delivered another standout performance as Fulham secured a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur.
The Nigerian midfielder, who provided a crucial assist, has now been directly involved in six Premier League goals this season—more than any other Fulham player, Footballrover reports.
Fulham came from behind to maintain their impressive record in London derbies, extending their unbeaten run to eight matches in such encounters.
Marco Silva’s side exhibited resilience, with Iwobi playing a vital role, as they clawed back against a Tottenham team that appeared determined to build on their recent 4-0 triumph over Manchester City.
Alex Iwobi hits 6-goal mark: A crucial contribution for Fulham
The first half was a tense affair, with both sides creating chances but failing to capitalise.
Alex Iwobi came closest for Fulham, seeing his deflected shot crash off the crossbar. Spurs nearly struck on the brink of halftime, but James Maddison’s free kick ricocheted off the post.
Tottenham took the lead after the break when Brennan Johnson volleyed in Timo Werner’s lofted pass.
However, Fulham responded swiftly. Iwobi’s precise cut-back found substitute Tom Cairney, who lashed home the equaliser in the 67th minute.
The match ended dramatically, with Cairney receiving a red card for a late challenge, leaving both sides to settle for a point.
Iwobi’s consistent performances have been instrumental in Fulham’s strong start to the season.
His ability to create scoring opportunities sees him remain as one of the most influential players in the squad.
With just one defeat in their last five league matches, Fulham’s form keeps them in the top half of the table.
Meanwhile, Tottenham’s inability to build momentum leaves them seventh, two points shy of Nottingham Forest.
As the season progresses, Fulham will rely heavily on Alex Iwobi to maintain their push for a strong Premier League campaign.
