Following his involvement against the Claret and Blue Army, the former Arsenal man becomes the 10th joint-most capped Nigerian player in the league
Alex Iwobi has equalled Efan Ekoku’s Premier League appearance record having featured in Everton's 3-0 defeat against Aston Villa.
Prior to the fixture against Dean Smith’s men, the former Arsenal player boasts 159 appearances in the Premier League.
And having made Rafael Benitez’s starting XI – anchoring the Toffees' midfield alongside Abdoulaye Doucoure and Brazil's Allan – the 25-year-old garnered his 160th English elite division cap.
In the process, he became the 10th joint most capped Nigerian player in the competition alongside Ekoku – who represented Norwich City and Wimbledon during his active days.
