Former Liverpool forward, Michael Owen was full of praise for Super Eagles midfielder, Alex Iwobi, after the Nigerian atoned for his errors which drew Everton level at 2-2.
Everton fought like Trojans in their big fight against relegation by coming out of King Power Stadium with a draw having trailed host, Leicester City twice in the game.
The former Arsenal star was blamed for the build-up which led to Jamie Vardy’s goal in the 33rd minute but was lauded for his high work rate which ensured that Tofees rallied back after he found the net in the 54th minute.
“It was a nice finish, really nice finish. I’m not sure whether it would have been simple if the defender wasn’t there,” Owen whose beloved Liverpool are city rivals with Everton noted. “Was he concentrating on the finish or was he just trying to strike through the ball but it ended up being a good finish.
“And as you say: ‘when you make a mistake in a game, you try to rectify it and he (Iwobi) certainly did that,” said Owen who was of the analysts for Monday Night Premier League football Show.
