Nigeria international Alex Iwobi scored for the first time in 15 matches in all competitions to help Fulham shock Premier League leaders Liverpool 3-2 at the weekend.

It was the first goal for the 28-year-old midfielder since January 14, and he played a key role as the Cottagers became only the second side to defeat the Reds in the league this season.

Iwobi has scored eight goals and also boasts five assists from 31 league games as eighth-placed Fulham chase qualification for Europe.
