Back from the Africa Cup of Nations, Samuel Chukwueze wasted no time making an impact for Fulham. Coming off the bench against Brighton, the Nigerian winger netted the equalizer in his side’s 2-1 Premier League triumph.

Trailing in the first half, Fulham looked like a different team after the break. Chukwueze’s introduction injected pace and threat into the attack. Well set up by Joachim Andersen, the Nigerian finished coolly to level the score.

That goal reignited Fulham, who went on to snatch victory in stoppage time thanks to a Harry Wilson free kick. With this successful return, Chukwueze underlines his importance to the squad and marks the perfect comeback after AFCON Morocco 2025.
