Everton of England star, Alex Iwobi could only put up a performance worth five points over ten, on an evening his side lost 2-1 at home against Burnley in the English Premier League, megasportsarena.com reports.
Iwobi was on from the start at Goodison Park, but the former Arsenal playmaker-cum-winger could not turn the tide for his team, as Burnley charged clear of relegation zone with an impressive win at Everton, who missed the chance to close in on the EPL’s top four places.
Sean Dyche’s men attacked with great cohesion and bravery, with Chris Wood opening the scoring (13) before Dwight McNeil curled home a stunning effort from range (24).
Dominic Calvert-Lewin halved the deficit for the hosts (32) but that was as good as it got for Carlo Ancelotti, who also lost his goalkeeper Jordan Pickford to a first-half injury.
Since winning their opening two home games, Iwobi and his teammates have won just three of the last 12 at Goodison Park, including defeats to Fulham, Newcastle United, now Burnley. The Toffees remain sixth on the log, five points off the top four.
Fulham’s recent form has put the pressure on the teams above them, like Burnley, but this win takes Sean Dyche’s men seven points clear of the relegation zone ahead of The Cottagers’ clash at home to Manchester City.
Iwobi will now hope for better fortune when Everton face Man City in a FA Cup quarter-final next Saturday, while Burnley have 21 days until their next match, with an international break to come, meaning their next fixture is against Southampton on April 3.
