Fulham secure first Premier League win as Alex Iwobi scores against Hull City

Alex Iwobi scored the decisive goal as Fulham secured a 1-0 victory over Hull City at Craven Cottage, marking the club’s first Premier League win of the season. The 33rd-minute strike, assisted by Sander Berge, followed a deflection off Lucas Herrington and beat goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis.

The result provides a crucial boost for Fulham, lifting them out of the bottom three and off the foot of the table. It also marks the first league victory for manager Alvaro Arbeloa, who took over the role in July. Following the match, former Premier League winner Tim Sherwood praised Iwobi, describing him as one of the most underrated players in the league due to his versatility and consistency.

Iwobi’s goal was his first of the season and his 36th in the Premier League, drawing him level with Peter Odemwingie for the sixth-highest scoring Nigerian in the competition's history. The match also featured Nigerian internationals Calvin Bassey for Fulham and Semi Ajayi for Hull City.
