EPL Wrap: Lookman Impresses; Success, Okaka Subbed In; Barkley Goes 90; Ibe OverlookedCatch up on the performances of players of Nigerian descent in the English Premier League on Saturday, April 22.

We start off at the London Stadium, where West Ham hosted Europe-chasing Everton. Both teams shared the spoils though the Hammers desperately searched for a winner.

Ross Barkley started and completed the game for the Toffees, teammate and England U20 international Ademola Lookman was introduced at the start of the second half. Hammers' Italy international Angelo Ogbonna remains on the sidelines.

Ex-England youth international Jordon Ibe was overlooked in Bournemouth's 4-0 rout of relegation threatened Middlesbrough at the Vitality Stadium.

There were four different scorers for the Cherries : Joshua King, Benik Afobe, Marc Pugh and Charlie Daniels.

Isaac Success and Italy international Stefano Okaka were second half substitutes as Watford lost 2-0 to Moses Odubajo's Hull City. The Super Eagle entered into the fray in the 67th minute before Okaka's introduction six minutes later.

Lazar Markovic opened the scoring just after the hour-mark, before Sam Clucas's goal on 71 minutes.
