Everton star Alex Iwobi suffers wardrobe malfunction and forced to come off pitch during crucial away clash at Chelsea

ALEX IWOBI suffered the one costume cock-up no footballer expects.

The midfielder even had to leave the pitch to fix it before returning to help Everton snatch a late 2-2 draw at Chelsea.

Iwobi’s right boot ripped open down the side – a particularly spectacular sight as… err… the orange footwear ‘complemented’ his pink socks.

But the footwear faux-pas was far from sole-destroying for the Toffees.

Joao Felix and a Kai Havertz penalty twice put Chelsea in front but Abdoulaye Doucoure and Ellis Simms earned Everton a point.

And social media was laced with jibes as an image of Iwobi’s orange outrage attracted acid comments.

One fan posted: “The state of Alex Iwobi’s boot!”

Another said: “He’ll get a refund surely” and a third argued: “Shows you how poorly the boots are made these days.”

And this observer knew what all the fuss was about.

He wrote: “I know, right – who goes with orange shoes on top of pink socks?”

And one reckons the issue could in fact be caused by the Nigerian being a bit of a superhero.

But that might not be the compliment it first sounds.

The supporter claimed: “He has a “Hulk foot”.
