Alex Iwobi’s 98th-minute strike offered little solace to Fulham, who suffered a 2-1 defeat away to Wolverhampton Wanderers in an English Premier League clash on Saturday.
The goals from full-back Rayan Aït-Nouri in the 52nd minute and an own goal credited to Fulham captain Tom Cairney in the 67th minute proved decisive, despite a late surge from Marco Silva’s side in search of an equalizer.

With this goal, Iwobi’s tally in the Premier League reaches five, marking his highest season total in his career thus far. His previous best in the Premier League was during the 2018/19 season, where he scored three goals in 35 league appearances.
