Fulham manager Marco Silva has hailed Nigeria’s Alex Iwobi after his performance in the 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.
Fulham’s 2-0 win at Crystal Palace moved them to eighth in the Premier League, as their impressive season continued.
After the game, manager Marco Silva singled out Nigerian international Alex Iwobi for special praise.
Iwobi provided the assist for Harry Wilson’s second goal, adding to his impressive season tally of two goals and two assists.
“Alex, for example, is being one of the best players so far this season, if not the best,” Silva said.
“From the first day of pre-season, he’s been so brilliant.”
Iwobi’s consistent performances have been crucial to Fulham’s progress, and Silva’s admiration for the Nigerian international is clear. His ability to play across several positions at a high level is an important part of the Cottagers’ success this season.
Silva maintains they are taking each day as it comes, but there will be many in the fanbase that believe a European finish is possible.
