Despite Fulham’s 3-2 defeat to West Ham on Tuesday, midfielder Alex Iwobi has been recognized for his outstanding performance, earning a place in the BBC Premier League Team of the Week, as compiled by former Watford captain Troy Deeney.
Iwobi scored both of Fulham’s goals in the London derby, showcasing his attacking prowess and versatility. Deeney explained his selection, stating, “He got another couple of goals and has probably been Fulham’s best player throughout. He can play numerous positions but he has just been really, really good. He’s one of those people that we disrespect and underappreciate but if he was in your team, you would love him to death. He’s had a really good week.”
