PREMIER LEAGUE Late Iwobi winner inches Everton closer to safety

The Nigeria international netted his second goal of the Premier League season to put some distance between Frank Lampard's side and the drop zone.

Alex Iwobi was the hero for relegation-threatened Everton on Thursday as his 99th-minute strike secured a 1-0 win over Newcastle United at Goodison Park.

The winner, expertly taken following a one-two with striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, snapped a run of four games without a win for the Toffees, who had been reduced to 10 men following the dismissal of midfielder Allan in the 83rd minute.

Iwobi was restored to the starting line-up as one of four changes following the weekend’s 1-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
