Super Eagles star Alex Iwobi has made history following an impressive performance in Saturday’s matchday 2 encounter against Leicester City.
Iwobi scored the decider as the Cottagers emerged 2-1 winners over the Foxes at the Craven Cottage, securing a maiden season win.
New signing Emile Smith-Rowe, who recently secured his move from Arsenal, opened the scoring for Marco Silva’s men in the 18th minute.
However, Wout Faes restored parity in the 38th minute, leaving both teams heading into the break on level terms.
In the 70th minute, Iwobi rose to the occasion to score the winner after receiving a through ball from Antonee Robinson, handing Fulham maximum points.
Alex Iwobi’s record
With the goal, Alex Iwobi has now scored in 10 consecutive Premier League seasons, tallying 23 goals within this period, as per Transfer Markt.
Like Smith-Rowe, Iwobi began his senior career with Arsenal, having rose through the ranks within the club.
The 28-year-old scored his first Premier League goal for the Gunners in the 2015/16 season.
Former Arsenal and West Bromwich Albion striker Nwankwo Kanu was the first Nigerian to achieve the feat, having scored in 12 consecutive Premier League seasons.
