Senegal duo Iliman Ndiaye and Ismaila were on target in Everton’s 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion and Crystal Palace’s 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Sunday, Afrosport reports.
Ndiaye opened scoring in the 23rd minute after slotting in Jack Grealish’s cross for the first-ever goal at the Toffees’ new Hill Dickinson Stadium.
He also scored the last goal at their previous ground, Goodison Park, netting a brace in a 2-0 win back in May.
