Alex Iwobi was in top form yet again for Everton, scoring a stunning goal, his first of the season, as the Frank Lampard team fell to a slim home defeat against Man United.

Manchester United defeated Everton 2-1 at Goodison Park on Sunday, returning to winning ways in the Premier League thanks to a first-half comeback.

After losing their first two games of the season, Everton welcomed Manchester United to Goodison Park in an effort to continue their six-match undefeated streak.

While Manchester United’s four-match winning streak in the league came to an abrupt stop following a 6-3 loss to rivals Manchester City last weekend, leaving Erik Ten Hag’s team four points away from the Champions League spots.

Everton got out to a fast start and they quickly took an early lead, barely five minutes into the game, thanks to a stunner from Alex Iwobi. However, fine finishing from Antony and Ronaldo – who scored his 700th club goal – were all the Red Devils needed to cruise past Frank Lampard’s men

🗣️ “I’m just delighted that I think he’s getting the recognition that he deserves as being one of the top midfield players in the Premier League at the moment.” – Frank Lampard talking about the form of Alex Iwobi.

Alex Iwobi (£5.5m) has supplied an assist in three of his last four fixtures. He has created 16 chances this season, at least five more than any of his teammate.
