Despite Everton’s defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday, Alex Iwobi received high praise from Frank Lampard.
Iwobi, who played for 90 minutes, was one of Everton’s standout performers.
In the tightly contested match, the Nigerian international was deployed in central midfield.
Jorginho’s penalty in the first half was the difference between the two teams.
“I thought Alex Iwobi was brilliant in the number six role. Because of his attitude, personality and humility, it doesn’t matter [where he plays],” Lampard told reporters.
“I thought him and Abdoulaye Doucoure played very well in midfield.”
Everton will face Aston Villa in their next game at the Villa Park.
