Iwobi's dramatic winner against Man Utd voted Fulham's Goal of the Month for February
Published: March 05, 2024Alex Iwobi's injury-time winner against Manchester United at Old Trafford has been named as Fulham's Goal of the Month for February 2024, the Cottagers have informed through their official website.
Manchester United pressed for the winning goal following Harry Maguire's late equalizer, but ultimately suffered a significant setback when Alex Iwobi, who missed a couple of opportunities in the first half, delivered the decisive blow.
In the seventh minute of second half stoppage time, the Super Eagles playmaker slotted past Manchester United's Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana, placing the ball into the bottom corner following yet another quick counterattack.
Iwobi saw off competition from international teammate Calvin Bassey, Rodrigo Muniz, Callum Osmand, Lemar Gordon and Georgia Heasman to win the monthly accolade.
Iwobi's goal garnered 57.2 percent of the fan vote, surpassing Rodrigo Muniz’s lob at Burnley, which came in second with 13%..
The Brazilian's goal against Aston Villa and Callum Osmand's effort versus Everton U21s claimed 8.5% and 8% respectively.
Iwobi received nominations for Fulham's Goal of the Month awards in September, November, and December but unfortunately did not secure the accolades.
Since his deadline day move to the Cottagers, the Hale End Academy product has tallied five goals in twenty-two all-competition appearances.
