Iwobi nets brace in Fulham win over Brighton; Spurs lose
Super Eagles forward, Alex Iwobi scored a brace to help Fulham secure a 3-1 victory over Brighton in a Premier League game on Thursday night.
Iwobi opened scoring in the fourth minute before scoring his second of the night in the 87th minute to hand his side a huge win.
A Matt O’Riley own goal in the 79th minute had restored Fulahm’s lead after Carlos Baleba equalised for the visitors early in the second half.

Elsewhere, defender Dean Huijsen scored the only goal as Bournemouth beat Tottenham to climb above them in the Premier League table.
The 19-year-old was left unmarked at the back post to head home Marcus Tavernier’s inswinging corner on 17 minutes.
Huijsen’s goal extended Spurs’ poor record of dealing with set-pieces, and prompted manager Ange Postecoglou to shake his head ruefully on the touchline.
Victory took Bournemouth up to ninth – a place above their opponents.
