Alex Iwobi scored his third goal of the season in Fulham's 4-1 loss to Wolves.
Iwobi scored the opener but could not prevent Fulham crashing 4-1 to Wolverhampton Wanderers in their English Premier League (EPL) encounter at the Craven Cottage on Saturday.
The 28-year-old crashed a left-footed strike into the far corner of the net from outside the penalty area to give the home side the lead, a strike that left Calvin Bassey, his fellow international, stunned.
The goal is Iwobi’s third this season and his third goal in three consecutive matches against the visitors. The left winger scored a total of six goals when facing the Wolves, which is the highest he has scored against any EPL club.
Wolves would score three second-half goals to claim a much-needed 4-1 win that moved the club out of the relegation zone, while Fulham are in 10th position with 18 points from 12 matches.
