Alex Iwobi Earns Fulham Goal of the Month Nomination for Thunderous Strike vs Chelsea

Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has been nominated for Fulham’s Goal of the Month for April, following his brilliant finish in their Premier League clash against Chelsea on April 20 at Craven Cottage.

Although Fulham fell 2-1 to their West London rivals, Iwobi’s moment of magic stood out — the 29-year-old coolly slotted the ball past Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez from the edge of the box in the 20th minute, marking his ninth goal of the season under Marco Silva.

Also nominated is Nigeria-born midfielder Chibuzo Nwoko, recognized for his strike in Everton U-21’s tie with Nottingham Forest on April 28 — a sign of Nigeria’s rising influence in English football.

Other nominees include:

• Rodrigo Muniz

• Ryan Sessegnon

• Seth Ridgeon

• Emile Smith Rowe

💬 Opinion: Iwobi’s Strike Is a Testament to His Quiet Brilliance

While often underrated, Iwobi continues to deliver when it counts — proving again that he’s one of Fulham’s most reliable assets this season. His goal against Chelsea wasn’t just technically excellent; it showcased his intelligence, timing, and calm under pressure.

This nomination reflects not just a standout moment, but a consistently strong season from the Nigerian midfielder, who has matured into a key figure for both club and country. If Fulham are to build for bigger ambitions next season, Iwobi should be central to that vision.

🔥 Vote-worthy? Absolutely. Iwobi’s goal deserves to win for its precision and poise.
