Iwobi equals best start to a Premier League season as Fulham and Tottenham share spoils

Alex Iwobi equaled his best-ever start to a Premier League season during Fulham's 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday afternoon, allnigeriasoccer.com reports. 

With the scoreline still barren, the Super Eagles midfielder had the opportunity to open the scoring in the 42nd minute but smashed his effort on the crossbar.

The Hale End Academy product had another chance to get himself on the scoresheet in the 52nd minute, firing a rebound towards goal but was denied by a superb save from Fraser Foster.

Just two minutes later, the Cottagers paid the price for their missed opportunities, as Brennan Johnson latched onto a Timo Werner cross and calmly slotted the ball in to give the hosts the lead.

Iwobi then helped put Fulham back on level terms in the 67th minute, rolling the ball to Tom Cairney, who placed it into the corner of the goal to make amends for his earlier missed chances.

The Nigerian midfielder has now chipped in six-goal involvements in the Premier League games this term, the joint-most he has registered after 13 games in the English top-flight.

The last time he registered six goal contributions at this stage was in the 2022/2023 campaign, notching one goal and five assists
