Iliman Ndiaye played a pivotal role in Everton’s 2-0 victory over Ipswich Town on Saturday, marking his second goal of the season. The Senegalese forward, who joined the Toffees from Marseille this summer, delivered a standout performance in the Premier League clash, helping lift Everton to a much-needed win.
Ndiaye opened the scoring in the 17th minute with a well-timed finish, putting Everton in control early in the match.
His goal came as a result of sustained pressure from the visitors, as the Toffees sought to build on their recent improvements.
Michael Keane doubled the lead just before halftime, finding the back of the net in the 40th minute to put Everton firmly in charge.
The first half dominance from Everton proved to be enough, as Ipswich Town struggled to find a way back into the game.
Despite several attempts in the second half, the hosts were unable to break through Everton’s defence, leaving Ndiaye’s early goal as the catalyst for a comfortable win.
For Ndiaye, this performance is a sign that he is starting to find his rhythm in the Premier League.
After a relatively slow start to the season, the 23-year-old forward is beginning to show why Everton made the move for him during the summer transfer window.
His goal on Saturday adds to his growing confidence, and Everton fans will be hoping that this is just the beginning of a strong campaign for the Senegal international.
Everton’s victory over Ipswich Town is crucial as they continue to battle in the lower half of the table.
The win lifts them to 16th place in the Premier League standings with eight points, providing some breathing room as they aim to distance themselves from the relegation zone.
Manager Sean Dyche will be pleased with the team’s performance, particularly in the first half, where they displayed control and precision in front of goal.
While the second half saw fewer chances, Everton’s defence held firm, ensuring that Ipswich Town never threatened to overturn the deficit.
Ndiaye’s contribution, along with Keane’s goal, proved decisive in securing all three points for the Toffees.
As the season progresses, Ndiaye will be keen to continue his form and help Everton climb further up the table.
His growing confidence in front of goal and increasing influence on matches will be vital for a team looking to stabilise their position in the league.
