NDIAYE IS ANSWERING MOYES' CALL FOR HELP

Senegal assists show Blues star can give boss more of what he wants

- By CHRIS BEESLEY

LIMAN Ndiaye displayed a trait that Everton manager David Moyes wants to see more of as he and fellow Senegal star Idrissa Gueye took a huge step towards qualifying for next year's World Cup finals with a 5-0 thrashing of South Sudan.

Ndiaye's pinpoint right-wing cross set up Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr for a first-time right-foot finish to open the scoring on 29 minutes while his low delivery from the edge of the area slipped through keeper Majak Mawith's hands to present former Liverpool player Sadio Mane - now of Saudi side Al-Nassr - with a gift at the back post to double the visitors' advantage in the opening minute of the second half and give the Blues ace a brace of assists.

The rout was completed with Sarr bagging his second on 54 minutes, Nicolas Jackson converting a penalty on the hour mark and Cherif Ndiaye - no relation to the Everton man - adding a fifth with 15 to go.

By this point, Ndiaye and Hill Dickinson Stadium teammate Gueye had made way for Ilay Camara and Cheikh Niasse respectively in a double substitution on 71 minutes with one eye on their crucial next encounter.
