Three Unforgettable Moments In Alex Iwobi's Spell At Arsenal
Published: August 12, 2019
Alex Iwobi completed his record-breaking move to Everton on Thursday and Arsenal fans continue to appreciate him for the services he rendered during his stay at the Emirates Stadium where he began his football career.
Looking back at the player's wonderful spell with the Gunners, there are many memorable moments to recall but allnigeriasoccer.com has come up with the top three which are listed below:
1. His World-class Goal Against Chelsea In Baku
Arsenal ended their last season's Europa League campaign in a 4-1 defeat to Chelsea in Baku.
The Gunners got their only goal of the game via Alex Iwobi's world-class goal which it turned out to be a mere consolation.
We've seen the 23-year-old score some good goals under Wenger's guidance, but his last goal in an Arsenal shirt was a memorable one and he will remember it for years to come.
2. His Europa League Debut Vs FC Köln
Alex Iwobi, aged 21, made his Europa League Debut in 2017 when he was named in Arsenal's starting XI by former manager Arsene Wenger against FC Köln.
He had a great debut game as he capped his wonderful display with an assist. He provided Alexis Sanchez with a fine pass that lead to the Gunners' second goal of the game.
3. Winning FA Cup In 2016-17 Season
As much as these great moments will last long in Iwobi's memory, the Nigerian winger will hope to create series of great moments with the Toffees this season.
