Moyes set the GOALS - and Ili repaying faith

Ndiaye already has three goals in the Premier League so far this season, scoring in the wins over Brighton, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Crystal Palace. He also provided the assist for Idrissa Gueye's strike at Anfield as well.

ILIMAN Ndiaye keeps getting better and better - that’s according to David Moyes, who admitted he was unsure how the attacker would perform when he returned to Everton.

Blues boss Moyes was well aware of the Senegal international's potential but arrived back on Merseyside with the club hovering above the relegation places and struggling for goals.

But the Scot was quickly blown away by Ndiaye, who scored a mesmerising solo goal in the returning manager's first win, against Tottenham Hotspur back in January.

The attacker then kept his cool from the spot to give an Everton side that was resurgent under Moyes an impressive win at Brighton & Hove Albion before injury in the last Merseyside derby at Goodison Park ruled him out for a significant part of the rest of the season.
