‘There’s no better feeling than a winning return’ – Iwobi reflects on Everton result against Watford

After missing the Toffees’ previous seven games, the Nigerian midfielder returned to the starting XI on Saturday as they seal a crucial away win

Everton midfielder Alex Iwobi is raving about his return from injury after helping his team secure a 3-2 comeback victory against Watford in a Premier League fixture.

On Saturday, Iwobi played his first game under Carlo Ancelotti since he suffered a hamstring injury against Arsenal on December 21.

The 23-year-old was handed a starting role to mark his 17th league appearance of the season as Yerry Mina’s three-minute brace and Theo Walcott’s stoppage time effort completed a dramatic comeback win at Vicarage Road.
