Silva praised the collective effort of his players, singling out Wilson, who has been in fierce competition for a starting spot against highly talented teammates.
During a post-match press conference, Silva stated, “He’s (Wilson) doing the right things. He’s not doing anything wrong to not start. He’s competing against very good players, too.”
He went on to commend Iwobi for his exceptional performance, saying, “Alex, for example, is being one of the best players so far this season, if not the best. From the first day of the pre-season, he’s been so, so brilliant.”
Note that Alex Iwobi has played 13 times in all competitions for Fulham so far this season in which he scored two goals and provided two assists. His contract with the Premier League club will expire on June 30, 2028.
