Despite being in superb form in the month of September, Everton and Nigeria International midfielder Alex Iwobi couldn't lay his hands on the prestigious Premier League Player of the Month.
England International and Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has beaten Super Eagles star Alex Iwobi, Kevin De Bruyne, and four others to the Premier League Player of the Month for September.
Iwobi has been magnificent for Everton in the last six months. The former Arsenal man played a big role in the Toffees’ Premier League survival last season. And this season he has been a constant fixture in coach Frank Lampard’s setup.
The Super Eagles midfielder has been solid in both attacking and defensive situations. In fact, Iwobi supplied the assist for Neal Maupay’s goal against West Ham that gave Everton their first win of the season.
Iwobi was nominated for the Premier League player of the month for September alongside Rashford, Kevin De Bruyne, Philip Billing, Jacob Ramsey, and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg earlier in September.
However, Iwobi has been beaten to the award by Rashford as per the Premier League.
