Iwobi, appearing for the 17th time this season, has been instrumental for Fulham with five goals and three assists so far. Bassey, on his 16th outing, has had a solid season despite receiving five yellow cards. Meanwhile, Aribo made notable contributions during the match but was substituted in the second half.
Fulham dominated the first half, showcasing impressive form as they sought to extend their recent run of strong performances.
Despite a few ambitious attempts from Iwobi, the team couldn’t break through Southampton’s defense, leaving the scores level at halftime.
Southampton’s goalkeeper, Aaron Ramsdale, delivered a crucial performance, keeping Fulham at bay and helping his side secure a vital point in their first league match since Russell Martin’s dismissal.
The draw sees Fulham climb to ninth in the Premier League standings, edging Brighton & Hove Albion on goal difference.
Southampton, however, remains rooted at the bottom, with only six points from 17 matches—a tough position as the season progresses.
