Alex Iwobi Excited After Scoring His First EPL Goal

 

Super Eagles forward Alex Iwobi has expressed his delight after scoring his first English Premier League goal this season following Arsenal’s 3-1 win against Stoke City at the Emirates on Saturday. Arsenal’s two other goals were scored by Mesut Ozil and Theo Walcott.

Iwobi who was brought on in the second half scored Arsenal’s third goal to seal the win and temporarily take the Gunners to the top of the league table. Charlie Adams had given Stoke the lead from the penalty spot after Granit Xhaka fouled Joe Allen inside the 18-yard box.

It was Iwobi’s second goal of the season after scoring his first of the season in Arsenal’s 4-1 UEFA Champions League win against Basel last week. Reacting to the win against Stoke, Iwobi went on to praise his teammates for rallying back to win despite going behind. Iwobi wrote on his Twitter handle “Great team performance to come back from behind and good to get my first Premier League goal of the season.”
