Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze came off the bench to decisive effect on Saturday, providing a late assist that handed Fulham a 1–0 victory over Sunderland in their Premier League clash at Craven Cottage, Bold Sports reports.
Introduced in the 64th minute, Chukwueze wasted little time in influencing the contest. The Nigerian delivered a pin-point cross that Raul Jiménez converted, securing Fulham’s fourth league win of the campaign.
Despite playing just over 25 minutes, the winger was one of the game’s standout performers, creating the most chances (3) and completing the most dribbles (1) on the pitch.
The assist was his second goal contribution of the season, adding to the one he registered in early October during Fulham’s 3–1 defeat to Bournemouth.
