Fulham’s head coach Marco Silva couldn’t contain his admiration for Alex Iwobi’s remarkable performance in their recent 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday.
The Nigerian midfielder shined at Selhurst Park, delivering an influential display that helped secure Fulham’s win over their London rivals.
Iwobi’s impact was felt throughout the game, but it was his crucial assist for substitute Harry Wilson’s goal that sealed Fulham’s lead in the 83rd minute. Demonstrating his growing responsibility on the field, Iwobi set up Wilson to score, reinforcing his value to the team.
Silva, who previously managed Iwobi at Everton, praised the player’s ongoing development and his integral role in the squad this season.
Reflecting on Iwobi’s growth, Silva remarked, “Last season was his best in the Premier League, and I’m confident this season will surpass it. From pre-season, I sensed he’d take on more responsibility. He’s truly helping the team move forward.”
Having been brought to Fulham by Silva, Iwobi’s journey under the coach has been one of continuous improvement. Silva’s confidence in Iwobi is evident, and as the season unfolds, Fulham fans are seeing firsthand the value he brings to the squad.
