EPL: Iwobi Subbed Off In Fulham Loss To Liverpool

Super Eagles midfielder, Alex Iwobi was in action as Fulham lost 3-1 to Liverpool in Sunday’s Premier League game.

The Nigerian international, who was making his 26th appearance, has netted five goals and bagged two assists this ongoing season for Fulham.

He was substituted in the 85th for Adama Traore.

Ryan Gravenberch thundered home his first top-flight goal for the Reds and Diogo Jota’s smart finish stood after the tightest of offside calls to seal a crucial 3-1 victory for Jurgen Klopp’s side, who bounced back from a torrid week that saw them lose at home to Crystal Palace and be ousted from the Europa League quarter-finals by Atalanta.

Like Jota, the fit-again Trent Alexander-Arnold had earlier marked his first league start for two months after injury with a brilliant free-kick that fizzed over the wall and beyond the despairing dive of goalkeeper Bernd Leno, only for Belgian full-back Timothy Castagne to then side-foot in his first Fulham goal on the stroke of half-time to pull Fulham level.

A vital triumph for Liverpool sees them leapfrog Manchester City into second place, behind new leaders Arsenal – who got their own pivotal bounce-back win at Wolves last night – only by virtue of an inferior goal difference.
