Fulham vs Wolves: Iwobi four games away from surpassing Ghana star as Arokodare struggles in another defeat

Iwobi and Arokodare had contrasting fortunes as Fulham thrashed Wolves in their Premier League clash. 

Super Eagles star Alex Iwobi continued to break new grounds in the Premier League as he helped Fulham to a 3-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Craven Cottage on Saturday. 

Iwobi continues to make history as Fulham beat Wolves

Iwobi made history last week by becoming the first Nigerian to play 300 games in the Premier League. 

The Super Eagles star then continued from where he left off last week, as he made his 301st appearance in the Premier League, making him the fifth African to play more than 300 games in the competition’s history. 

Iwobi is now five games away from surpassing Ghana’s Jordan Ayew as the fourth African player with the most appearances in the Premier League. 

As for his performance in the game, Iwobi made two accurate crosses and completed 42 of his 51 attempted passes in the opposition half before he was taken off for Adama Traore in the 89th minute. 

Meanwhile, his countrymen, Calvin Bassey and Samuel Chukwueze, also featured for the Cottagers, with the former playing the full 90 minutes, while Chukwueze came on in the 77th minute. 

Bassey was immense at the back for Silva’s men as strikes from Ryan Sessegnon (9’), Harry Wilson (62’) and an own goal from Yerson Mosquera (75’) ensured that the home side returned to winning ways. 

Arokodare struggles again for Wolves 

Meanwhile, on the opposite side, Arokodare's struggles in the Premier League continued as Wolves remain winless in the top flight this season. 

The former Gent striker came on in the 62nd minute, but could only manage one blocked shot in the game. 

Arokodare, who already has two goals in the League Cup, will now hope he can break his duck in the Premier League when Wolves return to action against Chelsea next weekend.
