By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Pmnewsnigeria
Alex Iwobi gave Fulham their first Premier League win of the season with a goal against Hull City in the 33rd minute. The 1-0 victory ends a run of six matches without a win and temporarily moves the club away from the bottom spot, reports Pmnewsnigeria.
Fulham beat Hull City 1-0 on Saturday 17 October 2026 thanks to a goal from Nigerian midfielder Alex Iwobi, giving the London club its first win of the season in the Premier League, according to Pmnewsnigeria. Iwobi scored in the 33rd minute with a low shot from outside the area, which took a deflection off Lucas Herrington before going under goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis.
