Fulham secured a victory over Brighton in an exciting match where Iwobi scored twice, including an early opener off the goalkeeper's mistake, and Matt O'Riley's own goal briefly handed Brighton the lead. The game showcased a back-and-forth battle with notable defensive plays and missed opportunities.
The Cottagers were pegged back after Iwobi ’s quickfire opener by Carlos Baleba’s fine strike early in the second half. But Matt O’Riley’s own goal gifted them the lead again and Iwobi hit his second to ensure Brighton have still never beaten
Brighton almost hit back when Jan Paul van Hecke’s through-ball sent João Pedro through on goal, but his shot was beaten away by Bernd Leno. The hosts had another opportunity straight after the restart when Harry Wilson chased a high ball over the top only to skew his volley off target. João Pedro did brilliantly to cushion the ball into the path of Baleba, with the Cameroon youngster bludgeoning a low shot from the edge of the box past Leno into the corner. But Fulham went ahead again with 11 minutes remaining when the substitute Andreas Pereira swung in a corner. The ball skimmed off the head of Bassey and went in off the back of the unfortunate O’Riley.
