Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi remains focused on Fulham’s upcoming fixtures despite his heroic performance in their 2-1 defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League.
The Nigeria international scored a sensational left-footed strike to open the scoring in the West London derby at Stamford Bridge, sending Fulham fans into a frenzy with his display of flair and composure.
However, Chelsea battled back to secure victory, denying the Cottagers a share of the spoils in the thrilling encounter.
Taking the social media platform X after the match, Iwobi posted a simple but defiant message, writing, “Head Up. Go Again.
The goal marked Iwobi’s ninth of the season, leaving him just one shy of reaching double digits in a Premier League campaign for the first time in his career.
The 28-year-old playmaker is now Fulham’s second-highest scorer this season, trailing behind only Raul Jimenez, who has 10 goals.
His remarkable form at Craven Cottage has seen him match his entire goal tally from his Arsenal days (15 goals) in less than half the appearances for Fulham, showcasing his evolution into a lethal goal-scoring threat.
Iwobi’s rapid rise at Fulham has cemented his status as a key figure on Marco Silva’s side since joining the club. His blend of creativity and clinical finishing has made him a fan favourite among the Cottagers’ faithful.
The Nigerian star now has his sights set on Fulham’s next challenge – a trip to face relegated Southampton, where that elusive 10th goal could be within reach.
