Alex Iwobi has been labelled incredible by Everton caretaker coach Duncan Ferguson on the back of the midfielder's brilliant performance in Sunday afternoon's 1-1 draw at Manchester United.
Seven minutes from time, the Nigeria international almost grabbed a winner, only to see his shot saved by goalkeeper De Gea.
Playing as a right midfielder in a 4-4-2 formation, Ferguson praised the Super Eagles star for his work ethic.
The Toffees took the lead through an own goal from Victor Lindelof on 36 minutes but substitute Mason Greenwood brought the hosts back on level terms with 13 minutes left on the clock.
''Everyone was dropping like flies, we had a lot of sickness – but I like a 4-4-2 and thought Mason would do a good job in midfield and was proven correct,'' Ferguson said to Everton's official webpage.
"I thought he was tremendous, they all were. Alex Iwobi was incredible, the distances he was covering."
Iwobi has started ten of Everton's seventeen matches in the Premier League, logging 1,033 minutes and scoring one goal.
