Everton delivered a resounding victory this weekend, dominating Chelsea 3-0, powered by the decisive influence of their Senegalese internationals Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gana Gueye.

Starting in midfield, Idrissa Gana Gueye was the first to stand out. In the 62nd minute, the veteran Senegalese midfielder provided a brilliant assist for Beto, allowing Everton to double their lead (2-0). It was a valuable contribution—his second Premier League assist in 22 appearances this season, after the one recorded on January 26 against Leeds (1-1).

Fourteen minutes later, Iliman Ndiaye put the result beyond doubt. Well set up by Beto, the Senegalese winger coolly finished past the keeper to score the Toffees' third goal (76’), bringing his Premier League tally to six goals this season, along with three assists.

With Idrissa Gana Gueye also netting twice this season, the two Lions have confirmed their key roles in Everton’s setup.

Solid, clinical, and inspired, the Merseyside club handed Chelsea a heavy 3-0 defeat and continues to build momentum thanks to their Senegalese stars.
