“That moment was crazy! When Hector got the ball and I saw the space, I just tried to sprint for my life,”Iwobi told Arsenal Player, according to arsenal.com.

“Thank God Hector found me, I got the ball and scored. I can’t describe the feeling, I started losing my head and the celebration…

“I don’t know where that came from, but I’m sticking with it now!”

The 19-year-old Nigeria national-teamer has started the last four competitive fixtures played by Arsenal in all competitions, including the Champions League meeting with Barcelona at the Camp Nou.
