Iwobi Scores First League Goal In Over A Year In Everton’s Win At Wolves

Alex Iwobi was on the scoresheet for Everton in their 2-1 Premier League win against Wolves on Tuesday night, Sports247 reports.

The 24-year-old opened the scoring after just six minutes with a brilliant first-time strike to the bottom corner after a neat set up by Lucas Digne.

The goal was his first in the league this season and second overall since joining the Toffees two years ago.

Iwobi’s only other league goal for Everton was on September 2019 against the same opponents.

Wolves equalized in the 14th minute through Ruben Neves which left the scores level at the break.

With 13 minutes from time, Michael Keane headed in a cross from Andre Gomes to give Everton the lead and eventually the three points.

Iwobi lasted the duration of the game and continues to be an integral part of Carlo Ancelotti’s side this season.

With the result, Everton move into the top four (on 32 points) on the table, 4 points adrift of Man United in the first position after 17 matches.
