Iwobi got a very good rating for his impressive performance for Everton in their victory over the Gunners.

Iwobi was inspiring as he helped the Toffees inflict more misery on the Gunners who are 15th and five points from the relegation zone.

While he is relishing Saturday’s victory, Iwobi still admits he has a lot of people to thank at Arsenal for his career, including current Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, who he played alongside after coming through the club’s academy system.

He told Sky Sports: “I wouldn’t be where I am today, so I’m forever grateful for the opportunity they (Arsenal) gave me.

“I can look to everyone, Arsene Wenger, Unai Emery. Even current manager, Mikel Arteta, when I was playing under-21s at the time, he was coming back from an injury and would be playing for us.

“There’s been a lot of people that have been able to help me.

“When I was breaking through, Arteta was still there and he was always helping – not just me, but any youngster – he made life easier when I was pushing through.”
