Iwobi goes 90 as McTominay and Martial goals see off Everton at Old Trafford
Published: April 08, 2023
Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi made his 30th Premier League appearance of the 2022/2023 season and went the distance but it was not enough to salvage a result for Everton in their 2-0 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.
In the 11th minute, the Nigerian produced a great tackle and clearance to deny Marcus Rashford who was ready to strike th ball from the six-yard box.
Iwobi found Demarai Gray in the 23rd minute with a through pass but the ball was eventually cleared.
The former Arsenal forward was also dominant in the air as he won two aerial duels in the first half.
Manchester United however made their dominance count in the 36th minute when Scott McTominay made a great run and received a great pass from Jadon Sancho to drill a shot past Jordan Pickford inside the box.
Iwobi's shot in the 65th minute from 25 yards was deflected for a corner kick by Tyrell Malacia while at the other end, Bruno Fernandez saw his header tipped over for a corner following a swift counter by the Red Devils.
The Toffees tried everything in the book to reduce the deficit and possibly drag themselves out of a defeat but Erik ten Hag’s men held on for a priceless win.
The win takes United to third place in the table with 56 points, while Everton are 16th with 27 points accumulated.
