Super Eagles star, Alex Iwobi channelled his inner Austin Jay Jay Okocha to dribble past two Liverpool stars in Fulham's loss at Anfield on Sunday.
Iwobi has struggled for form since joining Fulham from Everton in the summer, but has recently found his feet under Marco Silva and has produced a top-notch performance in his last two games.
The former Arsenal star was in the starting lineup for the Cottagers against the Merseyside Reds and was a constant threat for the home team's defenders.
Liverpool took the lead in the game through Trent Alexander-Arnold before Harry Wilson levelled things up a few minutes later.
