Alex Iwobi Loses Out On Arsenal Goal Of The Month To Chile Star Alexis

Alex Iwobi has missed out on winning Arsenal’s Goal of the Month award for April 2016, with Chile star Alexis Sanchez picking up the accolade.

The Nigeria international had made it to the shortlist for his strike against Watford in the Premier League and was nominated alongside Bellerin, Walcott, Ozil, Koscielny and Welbeck for the most eye-catching goal scored by an Arsenal player last month.

In the official club poll, Alexis’ first goal v West Brom claimed 37 percent of the votes, Welbeck’s strike against Norwich came second (18 %) and Alexis’ second v West Brom was the third best as voted on by the supporters of the Gunners.

Iwobi was just outside the top three, finishing in fourth place with five percent of the votes.
