Alex Iwobi stole the show in Fulham’s thrilling 3-1 victory over Brentford, delivering a performance that left fans chanting his name – www.isagoal.com reports.
The Nigerian midfielder scored a crucial equalizer in the 38th minute before setting up Harry Wilson just moments later to flip the derby on its head.
Brentford had struck first through Mikkel Damsgaard, but Iwobi’s quick response turned momentum in Fulham’s favor.
Wilson’s strike put Fulham in front, and Ethan Pinnock’s own goal early in the second half sealed a complete comeback for Marco Silva’s men.
After the final whistle, Iwobi was deservedly crowned Man of the Match for his decisive influence in the West London clash.
What truly caught attention, however, was the appearance of his parents celebrating with him in the dressing room.
His father, Chuka Iwobi, a former footballer, proudly posed with his son’s award, while his mother – sister to Nigerian legend Jay-Jay Okocha – shared in the special moment.
Iwobi’s football roots run deep, and with an uncle like Okocha, his rise feels like a continuation of a family tradition.
Manager Marco Silva praised his midfielder’s energy, underlining how central he has become to Fulham’s ambitions this season.
The victory pushed Fulham to eighth in the Premier League table, setting up their next test against Aston Villa at Villa Park.
