Iwobi scores nine out of ten after his goal and assist gives Fulham victory over Norwich

 Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi’s first Fulham goal helped them secure a place in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

Fulham opened the scoring after just 12 minutes through Carlos Vinicius.

A set-piece routine, no doubt practiced on the training pitch, was perfectly executed as Willian floated a cross to Iwobi at the back post, who squared it to the Brazilian forward for a tap-in.

Iwobi turned from provider to scorer in the second half with a beautiful finish from the edge of the area, firing low and hard into the bottom-left corner past keeper George Long.

He got

a whopping nine out of 10 marks and pundits described his performance thus, “A great full debut for the former Arsenal man as he set up the opener for Vinicius before finding the net himself with a well-placed strike after the interval. Was heavily involved in Fulham’s attacks from a central position and showed he could make a good alternative to Andreas Pereira going forward.”

They were not generous with his counterpart Calvin Bassey who scored five out of ten and described his performance thus.“Will always be a tough task to fill in for Tim Ream in the heart of the defence, and this was a nervy showing from the summer signing. Made a hash of clearances on more than one occasion that nearly played his team into trouble and his passing lacked the composure of the USA international. Replaced by Ream with just under 10 minutes to play.”
