Fulham defeated Brighton 3-1 at Craven Cottage on Thursday night, with Alex Iwobi playing a crucial role in the victory.

Iwobi put Fulham ahead early, taking advantage of a mistake from Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen. He then sealed the win with a second goal just minutes before the end of the match.

The 28-year-old midfielder has been in excellent form, registering three goals and two assists in his last four appearances for Fulham.

Fulham manager, Marco Silva, praised Iwobi after the game, calling him a “top player.” Silva added that Iwobi has been outstanding since pre-season and is enjoying his best form ever. “Last season was his best in the Premier League, but he’s even better now,” Silva said. He also highlighted Iwobi’s versatility, noting how well he can assist and score goals from different positions on the field.

The win lifted Fulham to sixth place in the Premier League table, with Iwobi’s excellent performance a key factor in their success.
