Alex Iwobi's first-half goal secured Fulham's first Premier League win of the season, a 1-0 victory over Hull City that lifts the pressure on head coach Álvaro Arbeloa. The Cottagers dominated possession and created numerous chances, but had to endure a nervy finale at Craven Cottage before claiming all three points.
Iwobi the Difference as Fulham Dominate
Fulham started brightly, with Iwobi and Oscar Bobb causing constant problems for Hull's defence. The goal came from a flowing move down the right, finished calmly by Iwobi. It was no more than Fulham deserved for their attacking intent. The background to this story is set out in Golf: latest articles.
