A disappointed Alex Iwobi stressed the importance of ending the season strongly after Fulham’s defeat to Everton at the Cottage.
The Whites had gone a goal ahead through Raúl Jiménez inside 20 minutes, but the Toffees levelled on the stroke of half-time and managed to turn the game around, scoring twice after the break.
“Of course it was disappointing,” Alex said post-match. “We felt we controlled the first-half and then when they scored the equaliser, it probably boosted them for the second-half.
“We had a few chances to put away in the first-half which we didn’t capitalise on, and obviously we’re disappointed to concede from set pieces yet again.
“I’m not too sure what it is. It’s something we need to work on in training – we’ve been telling each other to focus more.”
Despite another excellent Premier League season, our number 17 gave an honest assessment of the team’s recent form.
“If you look at the rest of the season, we’ve been doing really well and we’ve been getting points against strong sides, solid sides – especially the top teams.
“But unfortunately it’s games like these where we need to get the points that we haven’t been able to do so.
“I couldn’t tell you what it is but whatever it is, we need to sort it out because we’ve still got a few games to go and we have to end the season as strong as we can.
“The season’s not done – let’s see what we can do.”
