Fulham’s new signing, Emile Smith Rowe, has quickly made a notable impact at his new club by scoring his second goal in as many games.
The 24-year-old England international found the back of the net during Fulham’s 2-0 pre-season victory over Hoffenheim at the Rhein-Neckar Arena.
Smith Rowe, who recently joined Fulham from Arsenal in a club-record £34 million deal, opened the scoring in the 33rd minute of the match. He received a perfectly timed through ball from Alex Iwobi, which he calmly converted into a goal.
The goal was a continuation of Smith Rowe’s impressive form in Fulham’s pre-season campaign, demonstrating his ability to make an immediate impact at his new club.
Iwobi, who provided the assist for Smith Rowe’s goal, was visibly excited and celebrated exuberantly, shouting “That’s my guy!” during the moment of triumph with his former Arsenal teammate.
Both players, who are products of Arsenal’s Hale End academy, shared a warm embrace on the pitch, much to the delight of Fulham supporters who were thrilled to see their new signing making such an impact.
Social media platforms were abuzz with fans expressing their admiration for the duo’s chemistry on the field, with some likening Iwobi to a “proud big brother” and praising the partnership’s seamless integration.
As Fulham prepares for their upcoming fixtures, Smith Rowe’s official debut for the club is eagerly anticipated, with their next match against Manchester United at Old Trafford scheduled for the following week.
