The confidence gained by Sunday’s home win over Tottenham is key for Everton going forward under David Moyes, says winger Iliman Ndiaye.
The Toffees secured their first win of Moyes’ second tenure in charge to open up a four point gap between them and the relegation zone and end a run of six Premier League games without a victory.
“Tottenham is a big team and we wanted to perform. We needed to get the win we haven’t got recently. We have confidence going into the next game so we go again.”
Ndiaye has been Everton’s standout performer this season – scoring six goals in all competitions – and operated in a more central role against Spurs.
“I’m playing a bit more inside than usual,” the 24-year-old added. “It paid off, I got my goal from the middle. It was my signature move – one on one and trying to do what I do and get the goal.
“It’s not a free role because I need to stay in position and not get in the way of other players but I enjoyed it.”
The Toffees has only scored 15 goals before Sunday, but were 3-0 up at half-time after a blistering attacking performance in the opening 45 minutes.
“It made us go even stronger and harder to get the next one and next one. We were trying to regain the ball up the pitch, set the tempo, and I think we did.
“Each win we need to celebrate. It’s a big thing given where we are now. We need to repeat what we did in the first half.”
