Alex Iwobi was delighted with Dwight McNeil, a 23-year-old Everton player, after Brentford won yesterday.
McNeil took to Twitter following Everton’s 3-1 victory over Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Everton were under pressure to get their first league win of the season after only picking up one point in their first five games.
With the first goal, Abdoulaye Doucoure extended his incredible scoring streak away from home.
The midfielder was linked with a move away in the summer, but he has become an important player under Sean Dyche.
Brentford looked slow throughout the game, but Mathias Jensen equalized with one of their few attacks.
In the second half, James Tarkowski put Everton back in lead before Dominic Calvert-Lewin clinched all three points with his first goal of the season.
Dwight McNeil started his second game of the season for Everton yesterday, and his old teammate Alex Iwobi was impressed.
He assisted Tarkowki’s goal and put up an outstanding performance in both defense and attack.
Iwobi praises Everton midfielder McNeil
McNeil wrote on Instagram after the game, “No better feeling, first full game back – let’s get back to business blues.”
McNeil was dubbed a ‘Baller’ by Iwobi, while Everton player Dominic Calvert-Lewin praised the winger.
Starting the season with an injury is never ideal because it results in an interrupted pre-season.
Sean Dyche expects his players to be in peak physical condition, knowing that they will have to fight hard in defense before bursting into attack when the opportunity arises.
McNeil is expected to be a major player for Everton this season, and as he demonstrated yesterday, his set-piece delivery will be an essential source of goals.
Everton have big league games coming up against Luton Town and Bournemouth.
Both sides have the potential to be the Toffees’ relegation opponents this season, thus they must at the very least avoid defeat, if not win both games, even at this early point of the season.
