Nigeria's Alex Iwobi scores winning goal for Fulham

Today's goal by Fulham against Leicester City was Alex Iwobi's first of the new Premier League season and the decisive one. It was the Premier League debut victory for Fulham this year. In the 70th minute, Iwobi found the back of the net and fired a shot past the Leicester goalkeeper. Calvin Bassey, a teammate of the Super Eagles, participated in the entire match for Fulham, the winners. For the whole game, Wilfred Ndidi was on the field for Leicester City, a team that many predict will have trouble making it back to the English Premier League.

Adama Traore's excellent through pass to midfielder Smith Rowe, who scored a clinical left-footed goal on his Craven Cottage debut, gave Fulham the lead in the eighteenth minute. After just 20 minutes, Wout Faes, a center back for Leicester, headed home from a corner created by Facundo Buonanotte to tie the score. But in the 70th minute, Iwobi gave Fulham their lead back after deftly controlling a long ball from left defender Antonee Robinson. He finished with a left-footed effort to give the home team all three points.

The newly promoted Southampton team's tough return to the Premier League was extended on Saturday as it lost 1-0 at home against Nottingham Forest.

By far, Forest dominated the first half of play. Chris Wood missed two incredible opportunities to break the tie, the most notable of which was an early header from close range. After the interval, the home team improved their ball movement but was still lacking in cutting edge. In the 70th minute, Forest finally made an opportunity count as Morgan Gibbs-White tucked the ball home on the second attempt. The home team never really looked like they could tie the score after that decisive strike, and Forest comfortably closed out their first victory of the year.
