EPL: Iwobi Subbed Off As Man City Edge Fulham 3-2

Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi was in action as Fulham lost 3-2 to Manchester City in Saturday’s Premier League game at the Etihad Stadium.

The Nigerian international, who was making his seventh appearances, has netted one goal and bagged one assist this ongoing season.

Iwobi was substituted in the 77th minute for Reiss Nelson.

The Croatian struck either side of half-time after Andreas Pereira had given the visitors a shock lead following a sensational backheel assist from Raul Jimenez in the 26th minute.

Jeremy Doku, who came on for Jack Grealish with half an hour to play, scored with a venomous strike in the 82nd minute before Rodrigo Muniz pulled one back with two minutes to play.

City held on, however, and the victory puts Pep Guardiola’s side second in the Premier League, a point behind Liverpool after they beat Crystal Palace 1-0 earlier in the day.
