Super Eagles star Alex Iwobi has firmly established himself as the driving force behind Fulham’s attacking play this season, emerging as the team’s top contributor with an impressive tally of six goal involvements.
His total includes three goals and three assists across 13 Premier League appearances, underscoring his integral role in the squad’s offensive success.
As Fulham prepares to host Brighton & Hove Albion at Craven Cottage on the evening of December 5, Iwobi’s impact on the pitch remains undeniable. His contributions have been vital in Fulham’s efforts to secure important points in the Premier League, and he continues to be a focal point in their attacking setup.
In his most recent home fixture, Iwobi reached a significant personal milestone by scoring his 25th Premier League goal during a difficult 4-1 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Despite the defeat, Iwobi’s performance remained a highlight, and he quickly followed up that achievement by registering his third assist of the season in Fulham’s 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur. His vision, creativity, and ability to break down defensive lines have made him a key player for Fulham, with manager Marco Silva praising his contributions even after disappointing results.
Silva’s frustrations were evident after the Tottenham match, where he felt that his team had shown enough determination and quality to deserve all three points. The match was also marked by a dramatic moment when Fulham captain Tom Cairney was shown a red card late in the game, adding further tension to the encounter.
Iwobi’s goal-scoring prowess has seen him climb to a joint-second place on Fulham’s scoring charts, alongside young talents Emile Smith Rowe and Harry Wilson, who have each netted three goals this season. At the top of the table, Mexican striker Raúl Jiménez leads with four goals from 13 appearances.
In terms of creativity, Iwobi’s three assists have him tied with left-back Antonee Robinson for second place on the assist chart. However, Spanish winger Adama Traoré has been the standout creator, with four assists to his name, showcasing his ability to set up goals for his teammates. Smith Rowe and Jiménez have both contributed two assists each, further demonstrating the team’s collective attacking strength.
Beyond goal-scoring, several other players have chipped in with assists, including goalkeeper Bernd Leno, right-back Kenny Tete, striker Rodrigo Muniz, and winger Reiss Nelson, all of whom have contributed one assist each.
With six total goal contributions, Iwobi and Jiménez sit joint-first on Fulham’s leaderboard, reflecting their critical roles in the team’s attacking strategy. As Fulham looks to build momentum in the Premier League, both players will undoubtedly be central to the club’s ambitions of climbing the league table.
