Iwobi Reflects on Fulham’s Vital Away Victory Over Sunderland
Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has shared his thoughts following Fulham F.C.’s impressive 3–1 away win over Sunderland A.F.C. at the Stadium of Light.
Raúl Jiménez netted twice for Marco Silva’s side, while Iwobi capped a fine individual display with a goal and an assist to help secure all three points.
Reflecting on the performance, the 29-year-old acknowledged the challenge posed by the hosts.
“We knew it was going to be difficult; the pitch wasn’t great for us. 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 also explained the thinking behind his superb counter-attacking finish.
“When H (Harry Wilson) was on the ball, it was just Oscar and me running up the pitch. We’ve been working on this in training – in transition.
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.”
Despite Fulham’s push for a potential European spot, Iwobi stressed the importance of maintaining focus and taking the season one step at a time.
“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.”
The victory keeps Fulham’s European hopes alive as they continue their steady climb up the Premier League table.
