Alex Iwobi has been impressive in his new central midfield role.
He completed another 90 minutes, his sixth of the season in the Premier League this season – which means he has started and finished all six matches for the Toffees so far.
Iwobi completed 87% of his passes, which shows how good he was on the ball and helped Frank Lampard’s side retain possession which they used to cause Liverpool some problems.

He also completed the only tackle he attempted, a 100% record, two (2) of three (3) long balls, created one chance and made a key pass.
However, he was less effective with his dribbles as he failed to complete any of his two (2) attempts and also lost four (4) of five (5) attempted ground duels.
