Alex Iwobi celebrates 27th birthday in style [Photos]

Super Eagles of Nigeria midfielder Alex Iwobi has taken to social media to show off his birthday celebration.

Iwobi born on May 3, 1996, turned 27 today and has given fans a taste of his celebration.

The Super Eagles midfielder celebrated his 27th birthday days after scoring for Everton in a 2-2 draw against Leicester City.

To celebrate the special occasion, Iwobi posted photos of his birthday outfit and gathering on his official social media platforms

Along with the photos was a message that said, "27 Laps, The Marathon Continues."

Iwobi's birthday comes in a week where he was criticized for his performance by Everton fans.

Iwobi received harsh criticism from fans of the Merseyside club for his part in Jamie Vardy's goal during the first half of their match against Leicester.

Vardy was let through on goal immediately after Leicester tied the game, and after giving the ball to James Maddison, the seasoned forward went around Jordan Pickford to score into an empty net.

Fans dreading relegation criticized the player they thought was at fault for the Toffees' deficit in the game despite their team's stellar start.

Iwobi would later add a second goal to Sean Dyche's team's tally, joining Caglar Soyuncu and Dominic Calvert-Lewin as the points were split.

Iwobi returns to action when Everton travels to face Brighton in their next Premier League fixture scheduled for Monday, May 8
