Alex Iwobi
Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi scored the decisive goal as Fulham defeated Hull City 1-0 in the Premier League on Saturday, securing their first league victory of the season.
Iwobi broke the deadlock in the 33rd minute with a low shot from outside the penalty area. His effort took a deflection off Hull defender Lucas Herrington before slipping past goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis.
The goal proved enough to give Fulham all three points and end their six-match winless run in the league.
Fulham had struggled to secure victories under manager Álvaro Arbeloa, who took charge of the club in July following the departure of Marco Silva.
The result lifted Fulham from the bottom of the Premier League table.
The hosts came close to extending their lead when Gonzalo García’s header struck the crossbar.
Hull struggled to create clear scoring opportunities as Fulham maintained their advantage.
Fulham’s afternoon ended with a setback when substitute Ryan Sessegnon was sent off in stoppage time for a dangerous challenge on Robinio Vaz.
Despite the dismissal, Fulham held on to claim their first league win of the campaign.
