Super Eagles midfielder, Alex Iwobi, praised Fulham’s 3-1 victory over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Sunday.
Raúl Jiménez scored twice for Marco Silva’s side, while Iwobi contributed both a goal and an assist in the impressive away performance.
Big Win On The Road
Reflecting on the result, the 29-year-old expressed satisfaction with Fulham’s display.
“We knew it was going to be difficult, the pitch wasn’t great for us,” Iwobi said after the game.
” If we want to climb up the table, we have to get these points away from home. They’ve been very good at home, so it’s good that we were able to get the result we want.”
Iwobi On Late Goal
The Nigerian also commented on his stunning strike against the Black Cats.
“When H (Harry Wilson) was on the ball, it was just me and Oscar running up the pitch. We’ve been working on this in training – in transition,” Iwobi added.
” He found me, I saw where the goalkeeper was positioned, and the only place to finish was over his foot. Credit to H, and to us for getting the three points.”
Fight For European Place
With Fulham pushing for European qualification, Iwobi emphasized the team’s step-by-step approach.
“We take it step-by-step. We got the three points, and that was the aim – to climb above them. We’ll see where it is at the end of the season,” declared the former Arsenal star.
