Iliman Ndiaye has been awarded Carabao Cup Goal of the Round for his impressive strike in Everton’s 3-0 win over Doncaster last month.
The Senegalese forward was signed from Marseille earlier in the summer in a £15m deal that brought him back to England following his spells with Boreham Wood and Sheffield United.
He opened his account for the Blues with a lovely solo effort, the second goal in the tie and, hopefully, a taster of more to come as this season continues.
Picking the ball up deep in Doncaster’s half, Ndiaye advanced towards the box, feinted past the last man and drilled a low shot betweern the goalkeeper and the near post.

While not scoring against Bournemouth in Everton’s next outing, he was the star of the show in that Premier League clash before leaving the field to a rapturous reception with the Toffees 2-0 up.
The game somehow ended with Everton losing 3-2, however, as Sean Dyche’s side shipped three goals in nine harrowing minutes.
