Piers Morgan has taken to social media to praise Alex Iwobi’s performance after he was named man of the match in Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday afternoon.

The north London side took the lead in the seventh minute on Merseyside when Danny Welbeck finished off a superb attack by rounding the goalkeeper and tapping home.

And 19-year-old Iwobi made it 2-0 with a cool finish after being put through on goal three minutes before half-time.

Iwobi has impressed in his recent performances for the north London club after being granted a place in the first-team by Arsene Wenger.

And celebrity Arsenal fan Morgan used his personal Twitter account to heap praise on the teenager after the game.

Morgan tweeted:

BOOOOM! 0-2
Fantastic goal by Alex Iwobi.
I like this guy – fast, powerful, direct. #afc

The former Daily Mirror editor went on to praise Arsenal’s overall performance after their win at Goodison Park.

He added:

FT 0-2. Excellent away win.
Played with an intensity I haven't seen from us this year.
Which prompts the question: why? #afc
