Nigerian midfielder Alex Iwobi starred when Fulham travelled away to Wolves in the Premier League last Saturday.

Despite their 2-1 defeat to the home side, Iwobi produced a remarkable performance for the Cottagers.

The former Arsenal man grabbed the late consolation in the dying embers of the game after Tom Cairney's own goal and an earlier strike by Rayan Aït-Nouri had given the home side a comfortable two-goal buffer.

In addition to his consolation goal, Iwobi also became the first player to create 7 chances from open play in the Premier League this season.

Impressed by his phenomenal display, some fans took to social media to hail the 27-year-old Super Eagles star.

Check out some reactions below:

It's safe to say he's the best Midfielder in the bottom half of the table.
