Iwobi reacts after Fulham’s 3–1 away victory over Sunderland

Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has shared his thoughts following Fulham’s impressive 3–1 away win against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Sunday.

Raúl Jiménez scored twice for Marco Silva’s side, while Iwobi contributed with a goal and an assist to help the Cottagers secure all three points.

The 29-year-old expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance, particularly given the difficult conditions.

“We knew it was going to be difficult, the pitch wasn’t great for us,” Iwobi said after the match.

“If we want to climb up the table, we have to get these points away from home. They’ve been very good at home, so it’s good that we were able to get the result we wanted.”

Iwobi also spoke about his well-taken goal against the Black Cats, highlighting the work done on the training ground.

“When H (Harry Wilson) was on the ball, it was just me and Oscar running up the pitch. We’ve been working on this in training — in transition,” he explained.

“He found me, I saw where the goalkeeper was positioned, and the only place to finish was over his foot. Credit to H, and to us for getting the three points.”

Fulham remain in contention for a European spot, but Iwobi insisted the team will remain focused on taking things one game at a time.

“We take it step-by-step. We got the three points, and that was the aim — to climb above them. We’ll see where it is at the end of the season,” the former Arsenal midfielder added.
