Everton manager, Frank Lampard has defended Alex Iwobi after
his error led to West Ham claiming a 2-1 win on Sunday.
Aaron Cresswell’s superb free-kick put the Hammers ahead at
London Stadium, before the Toffees drew level thanks Mason Holgate in the
second half.
However, Iwobi gave away the winning goal, as he failed to
control Michael Keane’s pass.
West Ham pounced on the loose ball and Jarrod Bowen prodded
the ball into an empty net.
Lampard has, however, chosen not to blame Iwobi for the
mistake, but praised him for his versatility.
“Alex [Iwobi] played really well and I hope people don’t
focus too much on the negative and the mistake because if you focus on that you
have to remind yourself that he scored us the winning goal against Newcastle in
our last game.
“He’s got attributes to be able to play in different
positions.
“I thought his work rate was brilliant, his play against a
very strong midfield West Ham, he gave us a lot by coming into midfield and I
thought he did well,” Lampard said.
