Nigeria international Alex Iwobi has etched his name in Premier League history by becoming the first Nigerian player to record over 30 goals and 30 assists in the competition.
Iwobi reached this the milestone during a dramatic five-goal thriller at Craven Cottage.
The 28-year-old played a starring role in Fulham’s stunning 3-2 victory over league leaders Liverpool on Sunday.
Iwobi was undoubtedly the standout performer, delivering a display that thrilled fans and confounded the opposition.
The midfielder opened the scoring with a composed finish—his eighth goal of the season—before setting up the decisive match-winner with a perfectly weighted assist.
His latest contributions lifted his career tally in the Premier League to 34 goals and 30 assists—an unprecedented feat for any Nigerian player.
Liverpool arrived in West London unbeaten on the road this season, but their run came to an abrupt end as Fulham’s intensity and Iwobi’s brilliance proved too much. Alongside Iwobi, fellow Nigerian and Fulham defender Calvin Bassey also delivered a solid performance to help secure the famous win.
