Nigeria international Alex Iwobi has reflected on his impressive performance against Crystal Palace saying he feels almost unstoppable, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Iwobi was named the player of the match after he made two assists as the Toffees ended a run of three successive defeats with an impressive 3-0 victory over the Seagulls at Goodison Park on Saturday.
The Super Eagle player is now the joint-second player with the most assists in the EPL this season, with five along with Manchester City’s Bernado Silva.
Speaking on the club’s website, Iwobi said he was playing with so much confidence now and felt almost unstoppable.
“I feel Saturday’s win was a real team performance. Everyone played their part,” the Nigerian said.
“We’d had a tough run of results but we were back at Goodison – back at our home – and it was a great way to bounce back, with three goals and three points.
“On a personal level, I am playing with a lot of confidence.
“The manager tells me, ‘Play the way you train’. You can see I’m very confident and I’m able to express myself on the pitch. For our third goal, I was able to do that with a cheeky little flick!
“I saw Dwight McNeil running with the ball and then Neal [Maupay] make a first run. I made a second run, Dwight spotted me, and I could see him continuing his run, so I played it into his path. It looked like a great goal, but I have to give credit to Dwight.
“The manager gives me so much belief and, when I have confidence and motivation on the pitch, I feel I’m almost unstoppable.”
Iwobi is one assist away from equalling his personal assists record for a single season, the six he provided in his final season as an Arsenal player in 2018/19.
