Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Super Eagles forward, Alex Iwobi was substituted off in Everton\u2019s disappointing home defeat to Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Iwobi, who started the game in manager Carlo Ancelotti\u2019s 4-2-3-1 formation, gave way for Andr\u00e9 Gomes in the 63rd minute as the Toffees looked to break the deadlock.<\/p>\n

But the game, played at the Goodison Park, ended up in favour of Newcastle as the visitors scored two late goals to clinch a vital win.<\/p>\n

It was Callum Wilson\u2019s double in the 73rd minute and 93rd minute that ended Newcastle\u2019s winless run to ease pressure on boss Steve Bruce.<\/p>\n
