It\u2019s been a pretty positive start to the new Premier League season for Everton and there have been several standout performers for the Toffees.<\/p>\n

David Moyes\u2019<\/a> team suffered an unfortunate defeat at the weekend as they were beaten 2-1 at Anfield by the Premier League champions Liverpool.<\/p>\n

But despite the loss, the Toffees are sitting tenth in the table with two wins, one draw and two defeats from their first five matches.<\/p>\n

Everton<\/a> have seen quite a number of their players start the season showing impressive form, and one of them is even reaching the level of Kylian Mbappe and Lamine Yamal.<\/p>\n

Iliman Ndiaye<\/a> is currently sitting fourth in Europe\u2019s top five leagues for most successful take-ons this season.<\/p>\n

16 successful take-ons means he is level with Arsenal-linked Nico Williams<\/a>, just one behind Yamal and two behind Mbappe.<\/p>\n

Against Liverpool, the winger completed more dribbles than any other player in a single match this season, with nine.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old has become a crucial player for Everton this season and is helping Moyes\u2019 side to form a real threat in attack.<\/p>\n

Following the arrival of Jack Grealish<\/a>, Ndiaye has switched to playing out on the right side of Everton\u2019s attack, and it\u2019s worked well for him.<\/p>\n

In his first five league matches, the forward has two goals and one assist for the Toffees and looks more than capable of beating the nine goals he managed last term.<\/p>\n

Everton signed Ndiaye for \u00a320m<\/a> back in the summer of 2024, and the forward is now hitting the heights the Merseyside club hoped he would.<\/p>\n

Iliman Ndiaye completed most ground duels in single Premier League match this season<\/p>\n

Ndiaye\u2019s relentless work for the team was also highlighted by the fact that he completed the most ground duels in a single Premier League match this season.<\/p>\n

Also away at Liverpool, the attacker managed to win 14 ground duels, which is more than any player has managed this season.<\/p>\n

It was quite an eventful evening for Ndiaye, who also managed to set up Idrissa Gueye\u2019s goal, helping Everton get a foothold back into the match at Anfield.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t quite to be for Everton in the end against Liverpool, but an encouraging display nonetheless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s been a pretty positive start to the new Premier League season for Everton and there have been…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":165858,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,9004,16411,596,9510,69800,107272,85],"class_list":["post-165857","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-english-premier-league","tag-everton","tag-football","tag-iliman-ndiaye","tag-kylian-mbappe","tag-lamine-yamal","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165857","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165857"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165857\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/165858"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=165857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=165857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
