Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi has labelled his goal against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday as “unique” as the Cottagers compounded Tottenham Hotspur’s woes with a 2-1 victory at Craven Cottage.
Iwobi powered a right-footed effort from range with his side foot to double the lead for Fulham after Harry Wilson scored the opener in the seventh minute of the London Derby.
Iwobi, while speaking to Sky Sports about the goal, revealed that not everyone can score a calibre of goal like that.
Unique – that’s the best way to put it. I don’t think anyone has groin to open up their hip and side-foot it like that,” the former Arsenal and Everton star told Sky Sports.
When Harry Wilson passes to me, I had one thought to side foot it. I do it in training, so my team-mates weren’t surprised.”
The 29-year-old midfielder went on to praise Harry Wilson for his intelligent play and how important he is to the squad.
He is a special player, when he has the ball we know he will create something or score. We give him that trust and freedom to do as he pleases,” Iwobi stated.
Alex Iwobi also spoke about the victory over Tottenham as he gave credit to the team for seeing out the win over the visitors.
Another London derby, a special moment when we play in front of our fans, we are grateful we were able to that result today,” added the versatile midfielder.
” We feel we controlled the game and created a lot of opportunities to score, but if you don’t take them it becomes shaky. Credit to us we were able to stay strong towards the end.”
