Iwobi: Why Everton lost to Leicester City

Alex Iwobi believes Everton must be more clinical in front of goal following their 2-0 home defeat to Leicester City on Saturday.

The Toffees struggled to get going in the game, but still managed to create some chances.

Iwobi missed a decent chance in the first half , while Dominic Calvert-Lewin, James Tarkowski and Anthony Gordon also came close to scoring in the game.

“One team took their chances and, unfortunately, we didn’t,” Iwobi said post-match.

“We had a lot of opportunities, but Leicester were the ones who were able to put it in the back of the net and we couldn’t.

“I had a chance in the first half and with their second goal we were trying to push forward so we are bound to be open at the back. Another counter-attack and they’re able to score. I felt like it was a game that could have gone either way.

“You know Leicester are good on the ball so there were going to be spells where they can dominate, but we also had our own periods of possession.

“We have strong midfielders who are able to create chances as well. It wasn’t the problem. We had a game plan and stuck with it but it wasn’t to be tonight.”
