Iwobi makes EPL Team of the Week following midweek double against Brighton

Super Eagles and Fulham attacking midfielder, Alex Chuka Iwobi, was amongst Sofascore’s highest-rated players for the EPL Matchday 14, making the team of the week, Soccernet.ng reports.

The former Arsenal man scored a brace against Brighton and Hove Albion to take Fulham into the top six on the league table, as Marco Silva’s side push for European spots.

In Sofascore’s team of the week, Brentford’s Mark Flekken starts in goal despite conceding three against Aston Villa. The Dutch goalkeeper made seven huge saves to keep the scoreline pretty.

Everton’s Ashley Young and James Tarkowski make the right hand side of the defence following their side’s 4-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Young ironically became the oldest player in EPL history to score from a direct free kick while Tarkowski had his goal ruled out for offside.
