Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and sometimes it takes the Grand Old Lady to get vexed to see the very best of her.
This was one of those nights at Goodison Park when the world seemed to be against Everton but they pulled off the most unlikely of victories in the most unlikely of circumstances.
In many ways, Alex Iwobi might be considered one of the most damning examples of the profligate and tactless spending that has dogged Farhad Moshiri’s ownership but this was the Nigerian’s night and he was the calmest man inside the maniacal stadium when he kept his head to slot home the winner.
After just one Premier League victory since Arsenal until tonight, the Blues just had to find any way possible to secure the three points and somehow against all the odds they did just that.
It wasn’t pretty, it was far from straightforward and was anything but enjoyable for the long-suffer Evertonian faithful until Iwobi took his late chance during the 14 minutes of stoppage time.
The hosts had to contend with Eddie Howe’s revived side, more VAR woes and even a bizarre protest from a pitch invader who tied themselves to a goal post but somehow they got themselves over the line to grab what might be a crucial win in terms of survival and avoiding the club’s first relegation in 71 years.
