Iwobi Receives Good Ratings As Arsenal Thump Bournemouth

Alex Iwobi who was a second half substitute in Arsenal's 5-1 mauling of Bournemouth Wednesday evening got good ratings by the English media.

Initially considered a doubt for the match following the minor ankle injury he sustained in Sunday's 2-0 win over Southampton, Iwobi came off the bench in place of Saed Kolasinac and added some urgency to the attack.

"Alex Iwobi. Brought some energy to the side after the interval. Always wanted the ball and was involved a lot. 6."

Pain In The Arsenal, a weblog dedicated to the club handed him a slightly better rating than the former. The Nigerian got a 7.5 from the publication.

"One fantastic pass in particular that found Mesut Ozil through two lines of Bournemouth defense, and was otherwise useful throughout the course of the match."

"Iwobi 6/10. Saw plenty of the ball after coming on for Kolasinac," that was the view of the Nigerian by Arsenalstation.com.

For www.90min.com, it was 6/10 performance by Iwobi, same scorecard awarded him by The Mirror.

The Nigerian is expected to play this weekend as the Gunners face north London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur.
