Super Eagles star Alex Iwobi has scored his first English Premier League goal for Fulham against Wolves at the Craven Cottage on Monday, November 27.

The Nigerian international joined the Cottagers from Everton in the summer and has been looking for his first goal for the London side in the Premier League.

The former Arsenal star did however score his first official goal for Fulham in the Carabao Cup against Norwich City.

In a video shared on social media, Iwobi scored the first goal of the game between Fulham and Wolves at the Craven Cottage.

The Super Eagles midfielder turned in a cut-back from USMNT left-back Antonee Robinson in the seventh minute of play.

Former Atletico Madrid striker Matheus Cunha levelled things up a few minutes later before Willian restored the lead for the home side.

Hwang Hee-Chan thought he had sealed a point for the visitors in the 75th minute from the penalty spot, but a late goal from former Chelsea winger, Willian secured all three points for Marco Silva's men, according to Soccerway.

Iwobi was on the pitch for the entire minutes of play alongside fellow countryman Calvin Bassey.

Fulham have moved up to 14th on the English Premier League table and will hope to seal maximum points in their next league game against Liverpool at Anfield.

Wright ā€˜blastsā€™ Everton for selling Iwobi

Sports Brief earlier reported that Arsenal legend, Ian Wright has criticised Everton for selling Iwobi to Premier League rivals Fulham in the summer.

Wright, during an interview with Premier League Productions via Liverpool Echo, claimed that the Merseyside Blues were wrong to have sold the Nigerian to a direct rival.

The Arsenal icon further explained his disappointment in Everton's decision to sell their most creative player, and not even to a top club in England.
