Iwobi Features As Fulham Edge Wigan

Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwo was in action as Fulham defeated Wigan 2-1, to progress to the next round of the FA Cup.

Muniz’s header was cancelled out by a stunning Jonny Smith strike early in the second half, but Fulham were not to be denied as the Brazilian drove home to secure a hard-fought 2-1 triumph at Wigan.
