100 Club: Alex Iwobi Joins Elite Premier League List

 

Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has once again cemented his status as one of the most durable players in Premier League history.

 

During Fulham's 3-2 defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday, the 30-year-old midfielder officially became the fifth player to make over 100 appearances for three different clubs in the league.

 

He joins the exclusive list which includes Gary Speed, Rory Delap, Gareth Barry, and James Milner, having recorded 100 league appearances for Arsenal, 123 for Everton, and 100 for Fulham.

 

However, the game did not end well for the lively midfielder, as Fulham suffered their third consecutive defeat of the season.

 

The Cottagers took the lead in the 11th minute through Joshua King's deflected shot, but Palace equalized through Tyrick Mitchell in the 35th minute.

 

Fulham, playing in front of their home fans, restored their lead in the 42nd minute through Cesar Palacios, but Mitchell found the back of the net again in the 54th minute to level the scoreline.

 

Crystal Palace silenced the home crowd in the 77th minute when substitute Ben Chilwell scored the winning goal.

 

Alex Iwobi played 83 minutes of the game before being substituted, while his compatriot, Calvin Bassey, played from start to finish.
