“Superb” – Sky Sports Pundit in Awe of Everton Star’s Brilliant Display in Draw Against Man City

Bernardo Silva opened the scoring for Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on 26 December, capitalizing on their early dominance.

However, Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye silenced the home crowd with a stunning equalizer.

Pep Guardiola’s side should have extended their lead, but Ndiaye’s brilliant finish past Stefan Ortega turned the tide.

The dramatic moment drew immediate praise from analysts like Paul Merson and Clinton Morrison.

Speaking live on Sky Sports at 1:07 pm, Smith remarked: “It’s Ndiaye with the finish. He’s been the spark Everton needed going forward.

The ball comes in from the right, falls to Ndiaye, and with a superb first touch, he fires it perfectly into the far corner.”

Iliman Ndiaye must now become Everton’s focal point in attack following his performance against the Premier League champions.

Goals have been a persistent issue for Sean Dyche’s side, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Beto sharing the burden of scoring.

His display against Manchester City further justifies Kevin Thelwell’s investment.

Despite Everton’s limited attacking efforts in the match, Ndiaye made the most of his opportunity, showcasing his composure and skill in front of goal.

Although this was only his third goal of the Premier League season, Ndiaye has demonstrated that, given consistent chances, he can deliver regardless of the opposition.

Everton’s improved defensive resilience under Dyche has helped stabilize the team, and addressing their goal-scoring issues could be the key to retaining their Premier League status.

With Ndiaye leading the charge and a more cohesive attacking strategy, Dyche should feel optimistic about Everton’s chances of remaining in the top flight.
