Iwobi lifts Arsenal with first EPL goal

OndoReporter | Iwobi lifts Arsenal with first EPL goal

Teenage sensation, Alex Iwobi scored his first
senior goal for Arsenal as Arsene Wenger’s
men bounced back from a disastrous week to
maintain their faint hopes of a late Premier
League title challenge.

The 19-year-old Nigeria international showed
tremendous composure to score the visitor’s
second shortly before half-time after Danny
Welbeck had broken the deadlock early with
his fourth goal in nine games.

After crashing out of the FA Cup and
Champions League in the preceding seven
days, it was an impressive statement of intent
from Arsenal even though they still trail
Leicester City and Tottenham in the table.

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.
