By Monsurah Olatunji

Blackburn Rovers legend Tim Sherwood has praised Arsenal’s Hale End Academy graduates Alex Iwobi and Emile Smith Rowe for their crucial roles in Fulham’s 2-1 victory over Leicester City.

Smith Rowe opened the scoring, and Iwobi sealed the win with a second-half goal following Leicester’s equalizer.

Sherwood, speaking on Premier League Productions’ The Weekend Wrap, highlighted their contributions: “Two goals from the young boys from the Arsenal academy.

Iwobi and Smith Rowe made a significant impact. The goalkeeper could have done better on some of the shots, but it was a well-deserved win for Fulham.”

He also endorsed Fulham’s manager Marco Silva, noting: “Marco Silva is a very, very good manager with a solid group of players. They play an attractive style, and the fans are enjoying the football.”
