Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi was on target as Fulham came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory over Portuguese outfit Farense in their final pre-season fixture of the club’s training camp in Portugal on Saturday.
The Nigeria international delivered another assured performance in midfield, playing a pivotal role as Álvaro Arbeloa’s side wrapped up their preparations for the new campaign with a morale-boosting comeback win.
Fulham found themselves trailing at the interval after Farense struck first in the opening half, forcing the Premier League side to mount a response after the restart.
Their breakthrough arrived when Emile Smith Rowe was brought down inside the penalty area, with Iwobi confidently stepping up to take responsibility from the spot.
The Super Eagles star made no mistake, calmly sending the goalkeeper the wrong way before drilling his penalty into the corner to draw Fulham level and swing the momentum in his side’s favour.
