Seven Goals Scored By Everton In Two Starts By Iwobi : Marco Silva Salutes Important Player

Published: September 11, 2019

Alex Iwobi was a nightmare to the Ukrainian defenders during yesterday's friendly game and provided the assist for Joe Aribo's goal in the opening minutes of the encounter.

The winger has forced his way into Everton's starting line-up despite missing pre-season training and he is justifying Marco Silva's trust with impressive performances for the Merseyside outfit.

The Portuguese gaffer believes that Iwobi has added a new dimension to Everton's attacking play with the club scoring seven goals in two starts made by the Nigerian.

Speaking to Everton's official website, Silva said : ''He has quality in that final decision. In our attack he is a really important player.

''He can see the space, he can see the solutions, he can see his teammates in the best position to score.

''In those moments he will help us, because in our last decision he will raise the level of our squad.''

The 23-year-old is expected to retain his spot in Silva's starting line-up when the Toffees travel to the Vitality Stadium to battle Jordon Ibe's Bournemouth on Sunday.
