Alex Iwobi has earned himself encomiums from football lovers for his display as Everton beat Manchester United 1-0 in the Premier League.
The win and three points for the Merseyside club at Goodison Park are simply huge for their chances of avoiding relegation down to the Championship.
It has moved Frank Lampard’s team four points clear of Burnley in 18th place in the table, with just eight games left to play.
Taking to Twitter, Liverpool Echo journalist Adam Jones was left hailing Alex Iwobi.
“Alex Iwobi’s energy today, absolutely fantastic.
“He’s a changed man under Lampard in terms of that off-the-ball work, I’d argue,” Adam Jones wrote.
@Feninho wrote: “Alex Iwobi led the fight today. His pressing was superb. Ran his heart out. Delph showed he can play a big part in scrapping for points. Much maligned players who could save us.”
Joe Strange said: “Massive, massive win. Pickford and Godfrey outstanding, Mykolenko’s best performance, Keane, Delph and Allan solid, Iwobi and Richarlison lively throughout. Lampard got it spot on.”
Tom Barnes said: “Wow what a performance. Alex Iwobi is properly redeeming himself, what a player.”
Another fan said: “Alex Iwobi covered more ground today than that Grand National winner. Alex is the hero of our city.”
