Alex Iwobi suffered a cruel twist of fate as West Ham United profited from his mistake in the build up to their winner at the London Stadium.
Pablo Fornals took advantage of his error to release Michail Antonio and start the move that ended up with Jarrod Bowen slotting home. It was an unfortunate setback for a player who had sent Goodison Park wild as recently as the club’s last Premier League fixture.
It was a shame for Iwobi, whose industrious performance saw him press well as he was given a rare opportunity higher up the pitch. The 25-year-old’s pride over his 99th minute winner against Newcastle was clear as he recalled it in press interviews last week.
