Iwobi lauds Arsenal Community Shield triumph

Arsenal’s Nigerian forward Alex Iwobi has expressed his joy after his side’s victory over Chelsea in the Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday.

The Gunners came from a goal down (scored by the Blues’ Victor Moses) to level the game at 1-1, before triumphing 4-1 on post-match penalties.

Iwobi played 67 minutes for Arsene Wenger’s side and impressed with his pace and penetration, before making way for Theo Walcott.

The 21-year-old Super Eagles star took to Twitter to express his happiness after the triumph over their London rivals.

Iwobi will hope to retain his place in Arsenal’s starting line-up ahead of the opening 2017/18 Premier League match against Leicester City on Friday.
