"It was a silly mistake from Iwobi," BBC Match of the Day pundit Shearer said in their post-match analysis, alongside Ian Wright.

"He should have taken the option of a simple pass to Gomes, but he picked a wrong one, straight into the feet of Son. And then that brilliant finish from Alli."

According to Whoscored, Iwobi who had a below average performance was rated second to the last among his teammates who started the game.

Substitute Cenk Tosun grabbed the equalizer in stoppage time but Everton lost midfielder Andre Gomes to a terrible injury.
