# Everton: Fans slam Alex Iwobi after error lead to Deli Alli opener

**Everton supporters have slammed winger Alex Iwobi after his error led to a goal during his side’s [1-1](https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2019/nov/03/everton-v-tottenham-hotspur-premier-league-live) draw against Tottenham.**

The Toffees’ forward squandered possession in his own half which led to Dele Alli running onto the loose ball and finishing past Jordan Pickford to open the scoring for the north London side.

His mistake was rectified by teammate Cenk Tosun after he came off the bench to level the scores in the 97th minute, with 12 minutes being added in total in the second half.

The match was largely overshadowed by the injury to Andre Gomes after he suffered a [fractured dislocation of his right ankle](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7645063/Andre-Gomes-suffers-suspected-leg-break-Evertons-clash-Tottenham.html). A challenge from Son Heung-Min led to the Portuguese midfielder landing awkwardly on his ankle and lead to the trauma.

Iwobi, 23, made the move to Goodison Park in the summer for [£35m](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/arsenal-transfer-news-alex-iwobi-everton-fee-contract-rumours-gossip-latest-a9047401.html) and has scored [two goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alex-iwobi/profil/spieler/242631) in his first 12 appearances in all competitions while racking up [two assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alex-iwobi/profil/spieler/242631) along the way.

Supporters were livid with the mistake made by Iwobi and made their feelings clear on social media.
