Alex Iwobi Joins The Big League With First Senior Goal For Arsenal
Published: March 19, 2016
England international Danny Welbeck scored the opener in the seventh minute before Iwobi put the Gunners 2-0 up three minutes before half time.
The Nigeria international finished off a swift counter attack by Arsenal, firing through the legs of Joel Robles,who raced off his line to try and salvage the situation.
Few minutes later, the attacking midfielder, who was not lacking confidence,would have grabbed his second senior goal but his effort drifted past the post.
The 19-year-old Alex Iwobi was replaced by Calum Chambers in the 86th minute of the contest.
