The 29-year-old expressed his delight at earning three points in another London derby, especially in front of the home supporters.

Iwobi also highlighted Wilson’s influence, describing him as a player capable of producing decisive moments whenever he is on the ball, adding that the squad has full confidence in his creativity.
Silva echoed the praise, calling the strike one of Iwobi’s best since joining the club and noting his ability to pick out corners with precision and power.
The goal adds to Iwobi’s growing contribution this season, with four league goals and three assists from 22 appearances.
