Fulham head coach Marco Silva has hailed Alex Iwobi for his spectacular goal in the Whites’ 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, NigeriaSoccernet.com reports.
After Harry Wilson opened the scoring following a clever cross from Oscar Bobb, Iwobi doubled the lead in the 34th minute. The Nigerian international side-footed home from the edge of the box with a powerful and precise finish that left spectators in awe.
Silva described the strike as one of the finest he has witnessed from the 29-year-old midfielder.
“It’s one of his best goals — he is capable of these types of things. He is stronger when he tries to choose a corner and make a strong pass,” Silva said post-match.
Iwobi has now tallied four goals and three assists across 22 league appearances for Fulham this season, underlining his growing influence in Marco Silva’s squad.
