Iwobi’s perfect first half against Nottingham Forest revealed in statistics

Alex Iwobi had a perfect first half against Nottingham Forest bar the absence of a goal

As Everton chased their first win of the season, Super Eagles star Iwobi had a perfect first half against The Reds as he operated from deep again.

Iwobi has thrived in the number 6 position this season and was good against Nottingham Forest at Goodison Park.

The former Arsenal midfielder won 100% of his duels in the first half and also completed all his attempted dribbles.

Iwobi also won possession more than any other player on the pitch, according to statistics by Squawka.

Like Iwobi, Like Eze

In another Premier League game, Eberechi Eze completed more take-ons for Crystal Palace against Aston Villa.

He completed more take-ons than any player in the first half and he also won more duels than anyone on the pitch in the opening half of their week 3 Premier League game.

Eze has started the season a personal note and has become one of the most important members of the Crystal Palace squad so far playing pivotal roles in their opening games against Arsenal and Liverpool.
