EPL: Everton Will Fight To Stay Top – Alex Iwobi

Alex Iwobi says Everton have pushed the reset button ahead of 11 “cup finals” to finish the Premier League campaign.

Forward Iwobi was the last-gasp hero when Everton beat Newcastle United for three precious points 16 days ago.

The explosion of noise inside Goodison Park after Iwobi struck deep into stoppage time was illustrative of the importance of the goal in the context of Everton’s campaign.

“This is to stay in the best league in the world and… we need to fight for our club.

“There are no individuals, we are ready to bounce back and fight as a team.

“Everyone is ready to fight and show people what we are capable of.”

Iwobi, who joined Everton from Arsenal in August 2019, has started four of Frank Lampard’s seven Premier League matches in charge.

He played from the beginning against Newcastle and was still full of running when a barmy game entered the ninth minute of time added on.

On an individual note, Iwobi is ready to seize his increasing opportunities under Lampard, a confirmed fan of the player’s industry and ability.

“Every player thrives on confidence and if the manager has faith and belief in you, it gives you an extra boost to express yourself – and this manager gives me that confidence,” said Iwobi.
