Iwobi admits his goal celebration is crazy

Alex Iwobi says scoring his first senior goal at Everton was a “crazy” moment that helped him settle into the Arsenal team.

Iwobi says he is pleased with the impact he has made so far.

He admits his celebration at Goodison Park came out of nowhere.

The Arsenal youngster Alex Iwobi has admitted his goal celebration is “crazy” but has no plans to change it.

The Super Eagles midfielder made this known in an interview with Arsenal Player.

According to him, his unusual gun-shooting hand signal was unplanned but had been previously discussed with his friends.

Iwobi admits his goal celebration is crazy

He said: “I can’t describe the feeling (of scoring), I started losing my head and the celebration… I don’t know where that came from, but I’m sticking with it now.

“I already felt at home (in the team) but that goal made me a bit more confident, made me try a few more things and made me feel a bit more relaxed so I was happy to get it.

“The best way to describe it is that it’s my number (45), and the Gunners (are) Arsenal.

“I was just excited and also my friends told me to do something crazy, so it was for them.”

After manager Arsene Wenger handed Iwobi his first start for the club against Barcelona at the Camp Nou, Iwobi has settled well in the first-team

The 19-year-old has scored twice in the league after breaking into the first-team. He has also created three assists for the north Londoners.

He opened his account against Everton before repeating the feat in the 4-0 win over Watford.
