Super Eagles stars Alex Iwobi and Samuel Chukwueze scored as Fulham fell to a narrow 5-4 defeat at home to Manchester City, Soccernet.ng reports.

After seeing off Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 last weekend, Fulham returned to Craven Cottage for their Premier League fixture against former Champions Manchester City.
