Alex Iwobi Ends Fulham’s Winless Run With Goal Against Hull City

Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi scored the only goal as Fulham beat Hull City 1-0 at Craven Cottage on Saturday to end their wait for a Premier League win.

Fulham went into the match seeking their first league victory of the season after four defeats and two draws.

Iwobi broke the deadlock with a powerful low shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the penalty area after receiving a pass from Sander Berge.

The former Arsenal midfielder nearly scored again around the hour mark, but Hull goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis denied his effort.

Fulham also came close to doubling their lead when Alvaro Gonzalo Garcia’s header struck the crossbar with 15 minutes remaining.

Iwobi’s first goal of the season proved decisive, giving Fulham their first league win after seven rounds of matches.

Meanwhile, Manchester City extended their winning run to seven consecutive Premier League matches after beating Ipswich Town 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium.

City came from behind to take a 3-1 lead by the 70th minute before holding on for the victory.

The result saw Manchester City set a new club record for the most consecutive wins at the start of a Premier League season.
