Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi has expressed strong satisfaction with his team’s performance after their hard-fought victory over Sunderland, stressing that the London side “fully earned” the win through determination, discipline, and tactical execution.
Speaking after the match, Iwobi highlighted the collective effort that ensured Fulham controlled key phases of the game and responded intelligently to Sunderland’s moments of pressure. According to him, every player contributed to the intensity and work rate that ultimately secured the result.
Iwobi noted that Fulham entered the match with a clear plan—maintain possession, move the ball quickly, and exploit spaces behind Sunderland’s defensive line. He credited the coaching crew for the tactical structure and praised his teammates for staying focused, especially during periods when Sunderland attempted to push forward in search of an equaliser.
The Nigerian international also pointed out that Fulham’s ability to remain compact defensively and limit Sunderland’s clear goal-scoring chances was crucial. He explained that even when Sunderland increased their tempo late in the game, Fulham’s backline and midfield covered well to protect the lead.
Iwobi, who played a key role in Fulham’s transition play, said the squad showed the right mentality from start to finish. He added that the victory was not just important for league standing but also for the team’s confidence as they continue their Premier League campaign.
He further emphasized the need for consistency, urging his teammates to build on the momentum and maintain the same level of concentration in upcoming fixtures. Iwobi expressed optimism that if Fulham continues to play with the same intensity and unity, they will achieve their season targets.
The result strengthens Fulham’s standing and adds another positive chapter to Iwobi’s growing influence in the team since joining the club. As Fulham look ahead to their next match, the midfielder believes the team’s spirit and tactical discipline will remain key to securing more points throughout their EPL journey.
