Iwobi has scored three goals in 24 league appearances for Arsenal in the Premier League this season.
Flamini, who in all spent seven years working under Wenger, said: "It is painful because I am still an Arsenal fan".
Crystal Palace fully exploited Arsenal's weaknesses and lack of defensive leadership on the pitch, Andros Townsend got things started, tallying the game's first score just 18 minutes after the opening whistle.
"I understand our fans are disappointed and we all are deeply tonight". It was the north London club's fourth straight away defeat where they have conceded three goals on every occasion. Unfortunately it is like that and we have to respond very quickly and not accept it.
As the Gunners suffered another serious blow to their Champions League hopes - and manager Arsene Wenger to his standing among the fans - criticism rained in.
'This has been a performance that we've seen year in year out from Arsenal, exactly the same thing, nothing changes. I have managed over 1,000 games for Arsenal and we are not used to lose like that. It will be inconvenient to speak about me tonight.

You see, I was a zig-zag man before that ... and we became very good friends quickly thereafter. We were making records and it was just a moment. "He's American history", Snoop said.
"We played a great game", he said.
Wenger has been at Arsenal for over 20 years and has never failed to deliver a top-four finish over the course of a full season, but ex-midfielder Ray Parlour thinks the task of qualifying for the Champions League is getting more hard: "Gutted about the result".
Arsene Wenger admits that his Arsenal side were not defensively sound enough to handle Crystal Palace's attack. We won many second balls as well but in the decisive duels they were stronger, yes.
"After today, I think he's got to go right now - he's got to walk now".
And on this occasion, Allardyce says, Wenger's tactical setup was his team's very undoing. For a long time we were unbeaten away but since we lost a few we don't have the confidence. If Arsenal fails to finish in the top four, Alexis Sanchez's inclusion will also be in doubt for the next season.
Palace probably have the toughest run in of all the teams fighting to stay in the Premiership but they have now taken 15 points from the last six games, with six of those points coming against Chelsea away and now Arsenal. I was on the wrong end of the "Sam Allardyce factor" when I was at Newcastle last season [when the manager was in charge of Sunderland] but he looks to have worked his magic.
