Fulham fans tear into Alex Iwobi as his full stats emerge from win vs Stoke
Fulham fans have been left wondering what has happened to Alex Iwobi following their 2-1 victory over Stoke City in the FA Cup.
Jun-Ho Bae put the Championship side ahead in the first half, but Fulham staged a second half comeback to progress to the fifth round.
Kevin and Harrison Reed scored the goals to avoid a cup shock at Stoke, and earn Marco Silva’s side a first win in four matches.
The Cottagers had gone into the tie on the back of three straight Premier League defeats, but their quality ultimately showed against Stoke in the end.

Fulham ‘can do better than Alex Iwobi’
Iwobi missed a large chunk of December and January due to his participation at the African Cup of Nations with Nigeria.
The 29-year-old has slotted straight back into Silva’s starting line-up, with the midfielder not rested against Stoke.
Iwobi won just two of his five ground duels, and missed one big chance in the match, as Reed was the star performer in the middle of the park.
His goal contributions have also dropped from last season, with just four in all competitions this season compared to 15 last campaign.
Fulham fans were suggesting midfield partnerships for their next game against Sunderland, with many not wanting to see Iwobi on the team sheet.

Everton could continue Harry Wilson pursuit
Fulham have work to do if they want to keep midfielder Harry Wilson at Craven Cottage amid interest from a number of Premier League clubs.
Everton could move for Wilson again in the summer after failing to sign the 28-year-old in the January transfer window.
It is believed Everton made a bid to sign Wilson, which was rejected, with David Moyes wanting to strengthen his squad amid an injury to Jack Grealish.
Wilson is out of contract at Fulham in the summer, and could therefore be able to join any club he wants on a free transfer.
Fulham will no doubt want to keep Wilson, who has been a star performer under Silva this season with eight goals and four assists in the Premier League.
The Welshman has spent the past five seasons at the west London side, having joined from Liverpool having come through the club’s academy system.
