EPL: Iwobi still on cloud nine after lifting Everton with goal

Everton matchwinner Alex Iwobi was buzzing after the victory over Newcastle.

Iwobi nervelessly slotted home deep into stoppage-time to send Goodison Park into raptures and secure a crucial three points for Frank Lampard’s Blues.

“For the goal, I just wanted to relax and stay composed,” he said. “It was on my weaker foot as well. The main thing was to hit the target, beat the keeper – and it turned out to be the goal we needed.

“Dominic also did very well to stay composed and wait for me to overlap. I have to give credit to him for assisting me and I was able to slot the ball in the corner.

“In the celebrations, a lot was going on!

“I remember Anthony [Gordon] jumping out in front of me and showing that desire he has for the fans!

“It was an amazing feeling to see our fans like that. We want more of this feeling.

“From minute one until the end the fans were right behind us. If they believe in us, we can only believe, too. It’s great for us.”
