Arsene Wenger said he was 'delighted' with Alex Iwobi after the Watford win
Iwobi put on a man-of-the-match performance yesterday as Arsenal thrashed London rivals Watford 4-0 to rekindle their hopes of a late title push.
The 19-year-old bagged the Gunners' second of the afternoon and has now scored in back-to-back Premier League games for the north London side.
However, despite his commanding solo performance, the teenager didn't shirk his team responsibilities and Wenger has admitted that's what pleased him most after the game.
"I am very happy because it was a good performance," he said.
