Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has said Fulham’s narrow win over Hull City at Craven Cottage can help the London club get their season back on track.
The 28-year-old playmaker made this known recently while discussing the crucial victory on Fulham TV.
Alvaro Arbeloa’s side ended their barren streak in the English Premier League (EPL) this season with a hard-earned 1-0 victory over visiting Hull City on Saturday.
Iwobi scored the decisive goal for the London club in the 33rd minute of the encounter after profiting from an assist from Sander Berge.

Hull twice failed to clear their lines, allowing Berge to slide the ball into the path of the former Arsenal playmaker on the edge of the box.
Iwobi curled a low shot that took a deflection off Lucas Herrington and squirmed under Hull goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis, who perhaps should have done better.
Reacting to the win, the Nigeria international said it is important for Fulham to build on the momentum in subsequent matches.
“The win was a long time coming. We have performed well even though the results spoke otherwise,” Iwobi said.
He added, “The manager has asked us to keep going and hopefully the luck will go our way, and it has now started. We just have to kick on and use this momentum for the rest of the season.”
