Nigeria international Alex Iwobi set a personal Premier League record in Fulham's 2-1 loss to Wolves in the Premier League at Molineux.

A more clinical Wolves side had raced into a 2-0 lead before Alex Iwobi scored with the last kick of the ball to halve the deficit for the away side.

The first half ended barren as both sides struggled to dominate proceedings all to no avail. The dynamics changed in the second half with Wolves being on the ascendancy.

In the 53rd minute, the home side found the back of the net with Ait-Nouri scoring to steer them into the lead.

Nelson doubled the lead, having his attempt deflect off Cairney and loop into the net.

Fulham fought back through a late goal by Alex Iwobi to keep the scoreline respectable.


With the goal, Iwobi took his Premier League goal tally in a single game to 5 goals - the most number of goals he has recorded in a single season.

Before his Fulham spell, Iwobi had his best Premier League season in 2019 when he scored 3 goals.

He has now taken his tally to five, with two of the five goals scored in his last four matches for Fulham, including a late match-winner against Manchester United.

Iwobi had a nightmare AFCON campaign in January after he was singled out by some fans for his dismal performance for the Super Eagles.

The former Arsenal star appeared to have bounced back into his best form in the Premier League after the setback.

He has made the list of the 26-man Super Eagles squad called up for the March international friendlies against Ghana and Mali.

The Nigeria international will hope to continue in fine for the London club, having cemented his place in Marco Silva's squad.

He has scored 6 goals and registered 9 assists in all competitions for the Cottagers.
