Alex Iwobi Channels His Inner Jay-Jay Okocha With Magical Assist In Fulham’s Comeback Win

Super Eagles star Alex Iwobi lit up the Premier League over the weekend with a performance that had fans and pundits alike singing his praises. The Fulham midfielder delivered a goal and a sensational assist in a 3-1 comeback win over Brentford, with supporters even comparing his creativity to that of his legendary uncle, Jay-Jay Okocha.

The Moment Of Magic

With the score locked at 1-1 in the second half, Iwobi picked up the ball in the final third. What came next was pure artistry — a perfectly timed, defense-splitting pass that found Harry Wilson in stride. The Welshman calmly slotted home, giving Fulham the lead and setting the tone for an inspired comeback.

The Premier League’s official Instagram account captured the moment with just one word: “SPECIAL.”

Fans See Shades Of Okocha

Social media quickly lit up with reactions. One fan wrote: “Iwobi playing like prime Okocha when he was at Bolton.” Another added: “Brilliantly weighted pass… slid through the defense with precision.”

It wasn’t just about the assist, though. Iwobi also grabbed the crucial equaliser earlier in the game, underlining his growing influence under Marco Silva.

Aiming For Double Digits

The Nigerian international has made no secret of his ambitions this season — he wants double-digit goal contributions and to help Fulham push for a European spot. With a goal and two assists already in his opening games, he looks well on track to meet that target.

Fulham Flying High

Back-to-back league wins have put Fulham in a promising position on the Premier League table. And while some critics remain skeptical of Iwobi’s performances for the Super Eagles, his displays in England are proving impossible to ignore.

If he continues producing moments of brilliance like his Brentford masterclass, Fulham’s European dreams — and Iwobi’s personal ambitions — might just become reality.
