Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye opened the scoring against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
Everton made a really productive start to the game as they had Sunderland pinned in for most of the first half.
David Moyes’ side probably should’ve gone into the break 2-0 to the good, as Jack Grealish hit the post and Thierno Barry missed a glorious opportunity.
Iliman Ndiaye’s sensational solo goal was the most notable action, and with that said, former Tottenham Hotspur playmaker Jamie O’Hara made a big claim about the Senegal international.

Jamie O’Hara says Iliman Ndiaye is one of the Premier League’s best
Premier League fans have been in awe of Ndiaye’s performances for Everton this season, and many big six fans want their club to sign him.
The 25-year-old produced another moment of magic against the Black Cats, as he danced past multiple defenders before curling a left-footed effort into the far corner.
That prompted Jamie O’Hara to post on X that Ndiaye is genuinely ‘one of the best players in the Premier League.’

Don Goodman blown away by Iliman Ndiaye
Former Sunderland striker and now Sky Sports commentator Don Goodman was in awe of Ndiaye’s dribbling ability.
“I watched him come through at Sheffield United, and he displayed this dribbling ability week in, week out,” Goodman said.
“Just admire that dribbling ability and the finish to bend it in the corner. How composed is Iliman Ndiaye? It’s an outstanding finish.”
The remarkable thing is, Ndiaye is has room to get even better if he were to play in his more favoured number 10 role or off the left.
He’s not even scratching the surface of how good he can be, which is pretty frightening for opposition defenders.
