He was named the Barclays man-of-the-match after the game.

“The fact that I stated at Everton, I never really expected it, but when I did I just treated it like any normal game,” Iwobi told Premier League TV.

“I just prepared for it the same and the fact that I even score on my debut was just crazy. I enjoyed the moment.”

The 20-year-old was promoted to the Arsenal senior team in 2015 and has held down a regular place with his impressive performances.
