The Super Eagles midfielder assisted and scored as the Cottagers came from a goal down to win the Bees 3-1 at the Craven Cottage.

The visitors were in front after 19 minutes played following Mikkel Damsgaard's goal who turnes onto his right foot and rolled past Leno from a King's pass.

Iwobi started the comeback with seven minutes left to the end of the first 45 after capitalised on some pretty dreadful defending in the box, poking past Kelleher.

Two minutes later the turn around was completed after Iwobi found Harry Wilson who put the ball in the Brentford net, ending the first half with the hosts edging it.

The hosts maintained the pressure, scoring a fourth through but it was disallowed after a VAR check on the goal for a foul in the build-up by Muniz on Collins as the tie ended 3-1.
