Alex Iwobi achieves special Fulham feat shared by Tosin Adarabioyo and Van der Sar

Super Eagles and Fulham midfielder Alex Chuka Iwobi has reached a milestone with the Cottagers after featuring in their 2-1 win against Stoke City in the FA Cup, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 29-year-old played all 90 minutes at the Bet365 Stadium, as goals from Kevin and Winston Reed pushed Marco Silva's team to the next round of the FA Cup.

It was a milestone appearance for the Nigerian midfielder, as he played his 100th game in a Fulham shirt since joining from Everton.

Iwobi joins Tosin and Van Der Sar in Fulham centurion club

The ex-Arsenal man becomes the 183rd player to have crossed the 100-game threshold for the Cottagers. Only Raul Jimenez (103), Rodrigo Muniz (109), Kenny Tete (140), Bernd Leno (144), Ryan Sessengnon (164), Harry Wilson (176), and Tom Cairney (374) in Fulham's current squad have more appearances than Iwobi.

Tosin Adarabioyo also played 132 games for Fulham, while Edwin Van Der Sar accrued 154 appearances.

Iwobi joined Fulham from Everton in the summer of 2023 for €25.7m and immediately became a mainstay in the first team. It is also worth noting that Marco Silva played a huge role in the Nigerian's development.

The Portuguese manager brought Iwobi to Everton during his time with the Merseysiders, before doing the same when he took over the coaching reins at Fulham.

The one-time FA Cup winner played 30 league games in his first season at Craven Cottage, but followed it with an impeccable campaign the following year, playing in all of Fulham's 38 games.

He also achieved a personal milestone with the Cottagers earlier this season, becoming the Nigerian player with the most Premier League appearances.
