In Sunday’s Premier League encounter, Alex Iwobi, the Super Eagles midfielder, featured as Fulham suffered a 3-1 loss against Liverpool.
Iwobi, marking his 26th appearance for Fulham this season, has contributed five goals and two assists.
He was replaced by Adama Traore in the 85th minute.
Liverpool secured the victory with Ryan Gravenberch scoring his debut top-flight goal for the Reds, while Diogo Jota’s goal, upheld after a close offside call, sealed the win for Jurgen Klopp’s side. This win marked Liverpool’s comeback after a challenging week, where they suffered a home defeat to Crystal Palace and were eliminated from the Europa League quarter-finals by Atalanta.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, returning from injury, made his first league start in two months and showcased his impact with a superb free-kick. However, Timothy Castagne’s equalizer for Fulham just before half-time temporarily leveled the scoreline.
Liverpool’s crucial victory propels them into second place in the league standings, trailing behind new leaders Arsenal, who also secured a vital win against Wolves.
