Fulham’s Alex Iwobi has earned well-deserved recognition after being named in the Premier League Team of the Week following a standout Sunday afternoon.
The versatile midfielder secured his spot in WhoScored’s elite selection after a masterful display that helped propel Fulham to a convincing 3-1 victory over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
The 29-year-old was the heartbeat of the Cottagers’ attack, finishing the day with both a goal and an assist to his name.
It was Iwobi’s deadly accuracy from a corner-kick that set the tone for the match, providing a perfect delivery for Raúl Jiménez to power home the opening goal.
As the clock ticked toward full-time, the Nigerian international showcased his clinical edge, rounding off a swift counter-attack to net Fulham’s third just five minutes before the whistle.
That strike marked Iwobi’s third goal of the season, further cementing his status as a key figure in Marco Silva’s tactical setup this year.
His contribution was so impactful that he wasn’t the only Fulham man honored; his teammate Jiménez also earned a place in the weekly selection for his own goal-scoring exploits.
