Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has made history in the Premier League as the first Nigerian to score over 30 goals and make over 30 assists in England’s top league.
This big achievement happened during an exciting game at Craven Cottage, where Iwobi was crucial in Fulham’s 3-2 win over Liverpool, the top team in the league.
Iwobi was the star of the match, scoring the opening goal, which was his eighth this season, and later giving a perfect assist that led to the winning goal.
With this game, Iwobi’s total Premier League numbers have hit 34 goals and 30 assists, a new record for a Nigerian player.
Liverpool, who had been unbeaten in away games this season, couldn’t handle Fulham’s strong play and Iwobi’s impressive performance. Fulham’s defender, Calvin Bassey, also played well, helping his team to this important win.
This victory moved Fulham up to eighth in the Premier League standings, keeping alive their hopes of qualifying for European competitions. It also continues to be a great season for Iwobi, who has become a key player for his team.
As Liverpool tries to bounce back from this loss, Iwobi’s milestone shows the growing impact of Nigerian players in international soccer. Each game he plays helps to change the story for Nigerian footballers in Europe.
