Alex Iwobi’s brace couldn’t save Fulham from defeat as they lost 3-2 to West Ham in Tuesday night’s Premier League, but he has called on his team mates to get ready for Saturday’s clash against Leicester City.
“We’re all disappointed the way we lost the game, just mistakes,” he told Fulham TV.
“Had we not made the mistakes, we would have won it.
“But then there’s a game around the corner and so we cannot dwell on, so we dust ourselves and go again.
“We created so many chances and hit the woodwork twice and we felt like we could have gotten a few more goals, but if you don’t defend as a team, if you make these mistakes, then in the Premier League, everyone can punish us. We just have to work on that, to try and cut out the mistakes,” the former Arsenal midfielder told Fulham TV.
Iwobi has scored seven goals and registered three assists this season. With his outing Tuesday he became the Nigerian with the second most appearances in the history of the Premier League, overtaking Arsenal icon, Nwankwo Kanu. The versatile midfielder now ranks second with 274 appearances, trailing only former Newcastle United star Shola Ameobi, who amassed an impressive 293 appearances during his time with the Magpies.
On a personal note, Iwobi’s brace also marked a milestone in his career, as it saw him eclipse his best goalscoring season, according to data from StatMuse.
