‘I made sure I’m an option’ - Iwobi hails fellow teammate after providing assist for his goal

The Cottagers played a 1-1 draw against Everton at the weekend, with Iwobi and Smith Rowe having a fantastic game.

Marco Silva’s side opened the scoring after a brilliant run with the ball made by former Arsenal player Smith Rowe.

He then passed the ball to another former Arsenal teammate, Iwobi, who beat two defenders with the drop of the shoulder before slotting the ball past Jordan Pickford.

Iwobi has commended Smith Rowe's willingness to accept responsibility for creating opportunities in his post-game remarks.

According to Arsenal Insider, the former Arsenal star said, “He has that ability to take the ball and take the game by the scruff of its neck, able to drive us up the pitch. 

“So when he was doing that I just made sure that I’m an option and when he found me it was all about, literally I was just trying to get into the box and there was a space and when I got into the box, [it was about] making sure I kept composed.

“Obviously I know Jordan (Pickford) quite well, he doesn’t know that I like to go near post so yeah I was able to get that goal.”

Smith Rowe now has four-goal contributions for Fulham in his first nine appearances for his new club.
