Iwobi shortlisted for Fulham’s Goal of the Month
By: Akinde .S. Oluwaseun
Iwobi shortlisted for Fulham’s Goal of the Month is the big talking point around Fulham right now, and for good reason too. Alex Iwobi has found himself back in the spotlight after his well-taken finish in Fulham’s 3-1 victory over Sunderland was picked among the club’s Goal of the Month nominees for February.
It was one of those moments that looked simple at first glance, but it really was not. The move came together quickly. Harry Wilson slipped the pass into his path, and Iwobi did the rest with calmness. No panic. No wasted touch. He just guided the ball neatly into the net, and that was enough to leave fans talking long after the final whistle.
Now, that finish has earned him a place on the shortlist alongside six others. Raúl Jiménez is there. Kevin too. Jonah Kusi-Asare made the cut, same with Harrison Reed, Anna Grey, and Macauley Zepa. A mixed field, clearly. Different kinds of goals, different moments, different stories. But Iwobi’s effort has given supporters something familiar to smile about.
There is something about his game that often sneaks up on people. He is not always the loudest name on the pitch, not always the one grabbing headlines every week, yet he keeps showing up in key moments. That Sunderland goal was another reminder. Sharp run. Clean contact. Job done. Sometimes football really is that simple. Sometimes it is not, but he made it look easy anyway.
For Iwobi, this nomination also carries a little extra weight. He won Fulham’s Goal of the Month award in February 2024, so there is a bit of history here. That makes this latest recognition feel less like a surprise and more like a pattern. He has done it before, and now he is back in the conversation again. Not bad at all.
His overall numbers this season back that up too. The Nigeria international has scored four goals and registered three assists in the Premier League so far. Those are solid returns, especially for a player whose role often stretches beyond just finishing moves. He links play, covers ground, helps out in tight areas, and then every now and then pops up with something decisive. That balance matters. Managers notice it. Fans do as well.
At 29, Iwobi seems to be playing with a certain calm confidence. Not rushed. Not desperate. Just settled. It shows in the choices he makes on the ball and in the way he handles big moments. Fulham have benefited from that this season, and this latest nomination is another small sign that his contributions are being seen.
Supporters will now wait to see whether his strike gets enough votes to bring him another monthly honour. It will not be an easy race, with several strong contenders on the list, but his goal certainly has a real chance. It was clean, composed and memorable. The kind of finish that sticks with you.
For Fulham, it is a nice problem to have when so many players are producing moments worth celebrating. For Iwobi, though, this one feels personal. A sharp finish, a fresh nomination, and another reminder that he still knows how to make the difference when it matters most, Reportersroom reports.
