Super Eagles star Alex Iwobi has equalled Peter Odemwingie's record of 36 goals in the Premier League, according to a report by PUNCH Sports Extra on October 18, 2026.

The midfielder after scoring the winning goal in Fulham's 1-0 win over Hull City 1-0 on Saturday. He received a pass from Sander Berge before unleashing a low shot from the edge of the penalty area. His effort took a deflection off Lucas Herrington before slipping beneath Hull goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis.

The goal was Iwobi's first in the Premier League this season. Meanwhile, he had created 13 chances in Fulham's opening six league matches without scoring or providing an assist.

With the strike, the former Arsenal and Everton midfielder moved level with Odemwingie on 36 Premier League goals. The figure also places him among the competition's most prolific scorers from Nigeria. It should be noted that Iwobi reached the milestone in 327 Premier League appearances.

His goal proved decisive for Fulham, who had endured a difficult start to the campaign under Arbeloa. The victory has now lifted the Cottagers to five points and moved them out of the relegation zone, providing the manager with an important boost.

However, Fulham finished the match with 10 men after substitute Ryan Sessegnon received a straight red card in stoppage time for a studs-up challenge on Robinio Vaz.

It is worth noting that another Super Eagles star Calvin Bassey also featured for Fulham. The defender captained the side and playing the entire match. Meanwhile, fellow Nigerian Semi Ajayi represented Hull City in the game.
