Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi bagged an assist as Fulham defeated Southampton 2-1 in Saturday’s Premier League game.
The Nigerian international, who was making his 34th appearance, has netted nine goals and bagged six assists this season for Fulham.
His Nigerian compatriot, Calvin Bassey, played for the entire 90 minutes and was defensively solid for Fulham.

Stephens’ 14th-minute opener had already set the relegated Saints on course for a first home league victory since November, but Emile Smith Rowe leveled for Fulham after 72 minutes to set up a nervy finale at St. Mary’s.
A draw would have helped Southampton move onto 12 points and avoid Derby’s unwanted lowest-ever Premier League points total of 11 from the 2007-08 season, only for Sessegnon to have other ideas as Fulham’s dramatic 2-1 win moves them up to eighth.

This boy will be dropping goals and assists on a regular basis, playing close to the opposition goal at his club, but he’ll get to the national team and be forced (for whatever senseless reason) to partner Frank Onyeka or Wilfred Ndidi in DM and still be expected to churn out the same output. Then haters will bare their rotten fangs in open, clamouring for his excommunication from the national team.
Tell them, Dr. Drey. National team success is no mystery — it’s about clarity, consistency, and competence. Until we wake up and smell the coffee, the story will remain: one step forward, five steps backward, and endless “what ifs” after every tournament.
Sharraap dere! Idiot!
Pot calling Kettle black! When last did you clean your own dirty rotten teeth?
Goat! Anuofia!
