In the video clip, the squad are running some shooting drills as they receive the ball on the edge of the box before taking a touch and striking at goal.
The Super Eagle star got the ball from a coach, touching it to the right, then lines himself up for the shot.
Iwobi's effort lacks power as he falls to the ground but it is all a disguise, as the 22-year-old’s shot is chipped over Cech, who has come out of his goal to narrow his angle.
