Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi says he “should be scoring more goals for Fulham” after netting a brace in their 3-1 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion at Craven Cottage on Thursday, Afrosport reports.
Iwobi was in inspired form with goals in the fourth and 87th minutes to help Fulham record their sixth win of the season as they moved into the sixth spot in the Premier League standings.
The Nigerian International have been in fine form lately scoring three goals and providing two assists in his last four league appearances, taking his tally to five goals and three assists in 16 games in all competitions this season.
“We wanted to get a win on the board after our last game against Spurs,” Iwobi stated. “No better place to do it than at our place. I should be getting more goals but it was good win for the team.
Iwobi scored his first goal through a relentless press on the Brighton’s defence and the 28-year-old attributed the goal to the coaching team and their plan.
“We know Brighton like to play… so I was able to capitalise on the high press,” Iwobi added. “We know that Brighton like to play out from the back so we came up with a structure and it obviously worked for the first goal.
“We take it, however, it goes in, a goal is a goal. we wanted a goal from a set piece because we were a real threat last season.”
Iwobi and his Fulham teammates will, however, have a tough battle to navigate when they host Arsenal on Sunday.
