Alex Iwobi on Sunday afternoon inspired Everton to a 2-1 victory over Leicester City during their Premier League game.
The Super Eagles star carried on from where he left off, delivering yet another great performance to aid Everton’s fight for Premier League survival.
The 26-year-old set up the sensational opener as Frank Lampard’s squad picked up three crucial points at the King Power Stadium in their battle for survival.
The visitors found the opener just six minutes into the game when Mykolenko volleyed an attempt past Schmeichel, assisted by Iwobi.

Leicester, on the other hand, replied swiftly, as Daka took full advantage of a mix-up between Mina and Coleman to slide past Pickford.
Before Holgate re-established the lead for the home team, nodding his effort past the keeper after Richarlison’s header was saved.
Pickford made a couple of excellent saves to deny Leicester City scoring chances as they couldn’t find a way through in the second half.
Everton have moved out of the relegation zone with the 2-1 win, their first away win in the league since August, and they are now 16th, with Burnley and Leeds United also losing this weekend.
