Fulham started the match on a high note, taking an early lead when Iwobi collected a pass from Kenny Tete at the edge of the box and unleashed a powerful shot into the far corner.
However, their advantage was short-lived as Wolves quickly equalised. Mario Lemina delivered a precise pass over Fulham's defence, allowing Matheus Cunha to score with a deft finish.
The second half saw Wolves take control of the game. Just seven minutes in, Joao Gomes scored to give Wolves the lead, followed by another goal from Cunha, who curled a beautiful shot over Fulham's goalkeeper Bernd Leno.
The away team continued to dominate, with substitute Goncalo Guedes sealing the victory with a fourth goal.

Fans and teammates alike praised his skill and potential, with Troost-Ekong leading the way with his enthusiastic response.
“Anodaa banger,” he posted, reflecting his admiration for Iwobi's remarkable strike.
