Alex Iwobi joined Everton from North London giants Arsenal in a deal reported to be around £40m.

The Nigerian player had been at Arsenal since the tender age of eight.

He came through the ranks at the North London club before making his first team debut in October 2015.

Alex Iwobi scored 15 goals during his time as an Arsenal player.

His exit was facilitated by the signing of Nicholas Pepe in a club-record deal worth around £72m.

His missed penalty ensured that Manchester United played out a 1-1 draw at Wolves when they could have easily won the game.

Pogba’s second-half penalty was saved by Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio some moments after Wolves equalized through the stunning strike from Portuguese international star Ruben Neves.

The Ruben Neves stunner canceled out the first-half strike from Manchester United star Anthony Martial with his second league goal in as many as games.

Manchester United lost their hundred percent record mainly due to the missed penalty from Pogba.
