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 to social media platform X after the match, Iwobi posted a simple but defiant message, writing: “Head Up. Go Again.” This message reflects his determination to move forward and focus on Fulham’s next challenge.
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.
Iwobi’s 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. His blend of creativity and clinical finishing has made him a fan favorite 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. With his current form, Iwobi is poised to make a significant impact on Fulham’s upcoming fixtures. His determination and focus will be crucial in helping the team achieve success in the remaining matches of the season.
