In a Premier League showdown at Craven Cottage on Saturday, Alex Iwobi secured his first-ever victory in a debut match as Fulham triumphed 1-0 against Luton Town.
Iwobi’s eagerly awaited debut in the Premier League arrived on Saturday, with the player seeing off an hamstring injury to take to the field in the 62nd minute, substituting Harrison Reed.
His presence proved vital, as just three minutes later, fellow substitute Carlos Vinicius struck, delivering Fulham their second win of the season.
The victory marked the first time in Iwobi’s professionally career that he began his journey with a new club on the winning side.
In his debut appearance for the Super Eagles, Nigeria suffered a 2-0 defeat in a friendly game against the Democratic Republic of Congo on October 8, 2015, stepping in for Ahmed Musa in the 57th minute.
On October 27, 2015, he made his first-team debut for Arsenal, which resulted in a 3-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday in the League Cup.
