‘He is different’ - Man United legend praises Alex Iwobi’s performance against Leicester

Fulham secured their first win of the new season, defeating Leicester City 2-1 at Craven Cottage on Saturday.

Iwobi, who claimed he was ready for the new season, began his Premier League campaign up and running with his first goal.

In the 70th minute, Alex Iwobi scored what turned out to be the game-winning goal for Fulham.

Iwobi's improved form since moving to Fulham has impressed former Manchester United player Owen Hargreaves, who also stated that Iwobi had difficulties at Everton. 

Speaking on Premier League Productions, Hargreaves said, "I think Leicester are going to struggle a little bit in terms of their firepower. 

“Iwobi, he's such a different player at Fulham compared to the one at Everton, they were struggling. 

"In this side, they are trying to play him, Emile Smith Rowe and Pereira, those are nice players."

Iwobi has found success at Fulham under manager Marco Silva, contributing to nine goals and two assists in 35 league and cup games.

The Super Eagles star scored a goal for his club to open the new season as he continues his preseason form.

Fulham have now moved to tenth position on the Premier League table with their next game against newcomers Ipswich Town on Saturday, August 31.
