Alex Iwobi continued his impressive form, providing an assist as Fulham battled back to secure a 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur in Sunday’s Premier League clash.
This marked Iwobi’s third assist in 13 league appearances this season, equaling his best-ever start to a Premier League campaign.
The Super Eagles midfielder was influential throughout the game but was substituted in the 86th minute. Calvin Bassey also featured prominently for Fulham, completing the full 90 minutes.
Iwobi nearly got on the scoresheet in the 52nd minute, but his rebound effort was brilliantly saved by Spurs’ goalkeeper Fraser Forster.
Just two minutes later, Brennan Johnson capitalized on Fulham’s missed chances, converting a Timo Werner cross to give Tottenham the lead.
However, Fulham responded in the 67th minute when Iwobi set up Tom Cairney, who calmly slotted the ball into the bottom corner to restore parity.
Fulham’s hopes of a late winner were dashed after Cairney received a red card, leaving the visitors to play the final minutes with 10 men.
Iwobi now has six goal contributions this season, with three goals and three assists, showcasing his growing importance to Fulham’s attacking play.
Arokodare Reaches Double Digits as Genk Salvage Late Draw
In the Belgian Pro League, Super Eagles hopeful Tolu Arokodare scored his 10th league goal of the season as KRC Genk fought to a dramatic 2-2 draw against Sint-Truidense in the Belgian Pro League.
Arokodare opened the scoring in the 26th minute with a right-footed strike following a VAR review. The Nigerian striker was a constant threat throughout the game, completing 37 touches, 17 of 22 passes with 77% accuracy, and winning all five of his aerial duels.
Sint-Truidense equalized through a brilliant team move before taking the lead in the second half. However, Genk salvaged a point in the dying moments thanks to an own goal by Sint-Truidense’s Leo Kokubo.
The result keeps Genk at the top of the Belgian Pro League table with 35 points from 16 matches, while Arokodare shares the league’s top scorer spot with Adriano Bertaccini of Sint-Truidense and Kasper Dolberg of Anderlecht.
