Alex Iwobi has emerged winner of Fulham's goal of the month for February following his outstanding strike against Manchester United.

The Nigeria International beat competitions including Calvin Bassey, Rodrigo Muniz, Callum Osmand, Lemar Gordon, and Georgina Heasman, to clinch the coveted accolade.

The former Arsenal playmaker secured a dramatic winner at Old Trafford, a goal that captured the hearts of Fulham fans and dominated the voting charts.

Iwobi's excellent touch, deftly running past defenders Diogo Dalot and Amad Diallo, showcased his skill and finesse.

The goal was arranged with a pass from substitute Adama Traore, leaving goalkeeper Andre Onana helpless as the Nigeria International strategically placed the ball inside the near post.

The 27-year-old former Everton outstanding strike earned him an impressive 57.2% of the fan vote. This accolade adds another feather to Iwobi's appearance, promoting his significant contribution to Fulham's recent victory.

Alex Iwobi struck a dramatic stoppage-time winner as Fulham snatched a rare 2-1 win at Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday.


The former Everton and Arsenal midfielder finished off a counter-attack in the seventh minute of added time moments after Harry Maguire looked to have rescued a point for the Old Trafford outfit.

Maguire snatched on a rebound in the 89th minute, canceling out a 65th-minute strike from Fulham defender Calvin Bassey.

Man United looked to be finishing stronger as they pushed for a late winner but they were caught out by Iwobi, who secured his side’s first victory at Old Trafford since 2003.

Iwobi received nominations for Fulham's Goal of the Month awards in September, November, and December 2023 but unfortunately did not secure the accolades until February 2024.

Since his deadline day transfer to the Cottagers, the Arsenal Academy product has recorded five goals in twenty-two appearances across all competitions.

What's next?

The Nigeria International who has become an integral part of the Fulham team will be seen next in action when the Cottagers face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Saturday, March 9, at 4:00 WAT.
