Earlier on Sunday, Super Eagles forward Alex Iwobi was in action all through tor Everton in their loss to West Ham in London.

West Ham moved up to sixth in the Premier League with a 2-1 win over 10-man Everton, a result that keeps the Toffees in relegation trouble.

Five minutes after the equaliser, Michail Antonio burst clear of the Everton defence and his shot was blocked by goalkeeper Pickford but the rebound fell to Jarrod Bowen, who scored the winner for the hosts.
