Frank Lampard heaps praises on Iwobi after performance against Nottingham Forest
Everton gaffer Frank Lampard praised the performances of Nigerian International Alex Iwobi against Nottingham Forest as he made his 100th appearance.
He squared off against fellow Nigerian International, Taiwo Awoniyi as Emmanuel Denni was an unused sub. The former Arsenal man was deployed in centre midfield with Tom Davies by manager and former Chelsea superstar, Frank Lampard.
In what was a frantic final ten minutes, the Toffees had to come from behind to earn a point at Goodison Park, their first in the new season after losses to Arsenal and Aston Villa.
Brennan Johnson, Nottingham Forest's top scorer last season with nineteen in all competitions, netted his first ever Premier League goal in the 81st minute but Everton grabbed a late equalising goal through Demarai Gray.
"I thought Alex Iwobi was fantastic. Receiving it, controlling it and breaking through lines and passing well," Lampard said.
Alex Iwobi had an opportunity to win it in added-time but his effort narrowly went over the bar.
