Fulham of England winger, Samuel Chukwueze, is soaring high with massive statistics, following his breathtaking performance against Manchester City on Tuesday, as he got off the bench to slot home two goals.
Sports247 reports that, though Chukwueze’s brace could not save Fulham from losing 5-4 at home, the summer arrival at Craven Cottage has been credited with amazing stats that ranked him ahead of other players in his team.

Fellow Nigerian midfielder, Alex Iwobi, played 90 minutes of the game and got one of Fulham’s goals, while Calvin Bassey also lasted the distance, but it was Chukwueze whose brace of sizzlers from distance continues hogging headlines.
Interestingly, Chukwueze had emerged as man of the match in Fulham’s previous game, which was a handsome win away to Tottenham Hotspur in a London derby and the former Villarreal of Spain winger is again the rave to flaunt.
As The Cottagers head into this weekend’s fixture away to Crystal Palace, which will be a potentially explosive battle with another rival in the British capital, amazing statistics have emerged to hoist Chukwueze as the hero to watch.
A report posted by the online platform of Sporty TV noted in part, “The result meant The Cottagers lost their 16th consecutive Premier League meeting with City, and 19th in all competitions.
“One positive for Fulham was the performance from half-time substitute Chukwueze, who built on his impressive showing during their victory over Tottenham last time out.
“The winger ended the game with team-high totals for shots (four), touches in the opposition box (three) and successful dribbles (two), while only Iwobi (23) and Berge (14) played more passes in the final third than Chukwueze’s 13.”
The Chile 2015 FIFA U17 World Cup gold medalist also declared in the wake of Tuesday’s thriller at Craven Cottage: “I like the spirit of the team, almost coming back.
“Difficult one to take, but we keep our heads up. I believed, we believed we could score the next goals. But we have to move on from it.”
