'I'm tranquilo' - Alex Iwobi describes how he stayed cool in 'wild' Everton moment

Alex Iwobi has detailed what was going through his mind as he scored the most important goal of his Everton career so far.

The midfielder popped up in the 99th minute of a home clash with Newcastle United back in March, with the Blues down to 10 men thanks to Allan's controversial red card, and slotted in the winner to spark bedlam at Goodison Park.
