Super Eagles attacker Alex Iwobi scored his first League of the season as his club Everton succumbed to another defeat in the 2022 EPL league season

The former Arsenal prodigy scored in 66th minute to half the deficit after their host, Wolverhampton Wanderers led 2-0 in the first half.

Wolves’ impressive Premier League form continued as they beat an Everton side whose performance will surely worry manager Rafael Benitez.

Max Kilman headed his first Wolves goal, shortly after Hwang Hee-chan’s strike was ruled out for offside.

Raul Jimenez capitalised on Ben Godfrey’s awful backpass to dink the ball over Jordan Pickford to double the hosts’ lead before the break.

Alex Iwobi prodded in after half-time but the visitors rarely threatened.

The win is Wolves’ fourth in five games and takes them up to seventh.

But Everton, stunned 5-2 at home by Watford in their previous match, as well as 2-1 loss at home to West Ham United are heading in the opposite direction and drop to 10th after three straight defeats.

Iwobi is among the 24 Eagles listed by coach Gernot Rohr for the 2022 Qatar World Cup qualifiers against Liberia and Cape Verde next week.
