Nigerian midfielder Alex Iwobi had an exciting debut for Fulham FC during their thrilling 1-0 victory over Luton Town at Craven Cottage this past Saturday in the English Premier League.
Iwobi, who recently made a high-profile transfer from Everton FC to Fulham for a substantial fee of £22 million, had to bide his time due to an injury upon his arrival.
This meant missing out on the opportunity to be part of the matchday squad against Manchester City.
The 27-year-old Nigerian International was notably absent from the Super Eagles’ squad for the AFCON qualification match against Sao Tome and Principe last weekend.
Instead, he remained in London to recover and prepare for this weekend’s action.
When the match against Luton Town reached a deadlock with a score of 0-0, Fulham FC’s manager, Marcos Silva, introduced Alex Iwobi for his highly anticipated debut in the 62nd minute.
Shortly after Iwobi’s entry, Fulham FC secured the much-needed victory, thanks to a goal by Carlos Vinicuis.
Additionally, Iwobi’s compatriot and teammate, Calvin Bassey, made a late appearance as a substitute in the 90th minute.
After the game, Alex Iwobi took to his social media platforms to celebrate his memorable debut with Fulham FC, which resulted in securing three valuable points in the nail-biting showdown.
This significant win has propelled Fulham FC to 10th place in the English Premier League standings, accumulating a total of seven points.
Fans and followers of English football will undoubtedly keep a close eye on Alex Iwobi’s journey with Fulham FC, eager to witness his contributions to the team’s success.
