Iwobi Fires Fulham to First Premier League Win of the Season

Alex Iwobi scored the only goal as Fulham beat Hull City 1-0 at Craven Cottage on Saturday to record their first Premier League victory of the season.

The Super Eagles midfielder struck in the 33rd minute of the 100th meeting between the sides, curling a low shot that deflected off Lucas Herrington and squirmed under Hull goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis.

The result lifted Fulham to five points and out of the relegation zone after six winless matches, offering welcome relief for head coach Alvaro Arbeloa ahead of a testing run of fixtures.

Iwobi climbs Nigerian charts

It was Iwobi's first league goal of the campaign and the 36th of his Premier League career in 327 appearances, moving him level with former West Brom striker Peter Odemwingie as joint-sixth among Nigerian scorers in the competition's history.
