The midfielder scored a stunning left-footed goal at Stamford Bridge, briefly putting Fulham ahead in the West London derby. However, Chelsea fought back to secure a 2-1 victory, leaving Fulham empty-handed.

Following the match, Iwobi took to social media platform X with a concise and resilient message: “Head Up. Go Again.” This reflects the player’s professional attitude and commitment to Fulham’s objectives for the remainder of the season.

Iwobi’s impressive strike against Chelsea marked his ninth goal of the current Premier League campaign. The 28-year-old playmaker is now on the verge of achieving a personal milestone, needing just one more goal to reach double figures in a Premier League season for the first time in his career.

His current tally places him as Fulham’s second-highest scorer this season, only behind Raul Jimenez, who has netted 10 goals.

His prolific form at Craven Cottage signifies a remarkable transformation into a potent attacking threat. In less than half the appearances for Fulham, Iwobi has already equalled his entire goal tally (15 goals) from his time at Arsenal, highlighting his evolution and increased effectiveness in front of goal.

Since joining Fulham, Iwobi has become an integral part of Marco Silva’s squad, his blend of creative midfield play and clinical finishing making him a firm favourite among the Fulham supporters.

Looking ahead, the Nigerian star has his sights set on Fulham’s next fixture: an away match against relegated Southampton. This encounter presents Iwobi with an immediate opportunity to reach that elusive tenth Premier League goal of the season.
