Alex Iwobi produces beautiful finish after awful error from Man Utd ace Casemiro
Alex Iwobi capitalised on an error from Casemiro to score an absolute stunner for Everton against Manchester United.
Iwobi, who cost £27million from Arsenal in 2019, has been in fine form of late, providing three assists in his last four Premier League matches prior to Sunday's game at Goodison Park. And he maintained his purple patch with a goal right out of the top drawer as the Toffees took the lead against United.
Capitalising on an error from Casemiro, who found himself dispossessed in midfield, Iwobi received the ball on the edge of the box before opening up his body and curling an unstoppable strike beyond David de Gea.

Goodison Park erupted as the ball hit the back of the net and Iwobi rushed off to celebrate with team-mates Demarai Gray and Neal Maupay.
Football fans on Twitter were quick to praise the former Arsenal star and criticise Casemiro in the aftermath of the goal. One person wrote: "Can’t quite wrap my head around how dramatically Iwobi has improved this season. Incredible strike from him, and what a start!"

A second person said: "That is a stunning finish from Alex Iwobi. Absolutely brilliant technique and De Gea had absolutely no chance!"
As a third user commented: "Oh look, Casemiro lost the ball and it led to a goal. Shocking, shocking that a 30 year old whose pace is gone is a midfield liability." As a fourth added: "Casemiro lost the ball then Iwobi punishes the error, this is the Premier League!"
United equalised not long after through Antony before Casemiro redeemed himself in the build-up to their second of the night. The Brazilian star turned the tables on Iwobi, dispossessing him in midfield before playing in Cristiano Ronaldo to score his 700th career goal to give the Red Devils a 2-1 lead which they held onto until the end of the match.
