Ranking Iliman Ndiaye's best Everton goals
Ranking Iliman Ndiaye's best Everton goals Saturday’s glorious victory over Chelsea came with many highlights — on the pitch, in the stands, and even outside Hill Dickinson Stadium. But chief among them all was the stunning strike from Iliman Ndiaye, which well and truly settled the contest in Everton’s favour. Ndiaye picked out the proverbial postage stamp, but Everton’s Number 10 is no stranger to a great goal.
He has scored 17 times in 64 appearances across all competitions — perhaps it could be argued he should be netting more, given the quality he has — with 5 of those being penalties. But the 26-year-old’s tally includes some truly spectacular moments, including the final competitive goal(s) at Goodison Park, and the first at Hill Dickinson Stadium. So, I’ve had a shot at ranking his top five.
And, it’s tough. 5. Manchester City (A) — December 2024 Ndiaye had already demonstrated his brilliance for his first few Everton goals.
There was a mazy run and fine finish against Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup, a lovely, drilled effort to get off the mark in the Premier League against Leicester City, and a thunderous shot against Ipswich Town. But his exquisite strike against Manchester City towards the end of 2024 is what gets the nod for this list. Abdoulaye Doucoure’s cross found its way through to Ndiaye, who brilliantly took it under his spell with a deft first touch, but the agile, prodded finish that followed was sublime.
It came amid the backdrop of Sean Dyche’s final few games at the club, but earned the Toffees a highly respectable draw at the Etihad Stadium. 4. Southampton (H) — May 2025 There are two to pick from here, of course, but I’m plumping for the first one.
