It may well turn out that the best thing Oumar Niasse has done in his time as an Everton player has come in a Hull City shirt.

The £13.5m striker was loaned out to the Tigers after failing to score for Everton's first team, but already has two for the club with whom he is spending the remainder of the season. Niasse's first goal, in the EFL Cup semi-final second leg victory over Manchester United, was not quite enough to earn Hull a place in the final. But his second proved far more important - and more enjoyable for Everton fans. After Alfred N'Diaye capitalised on a Simon Mignolet mistake to give Marco Silva's team the lead against Liverpool, Niasse struck late on to earn all three points. https://twitter.com/HullCity/status/827922749456793601 It was a great day for Everton, who beat Bournemouth 6-3 at Goodison Park, and Niasse helping see off their local rivals was the cherry on top. Everton are now just six points below Liverpool in the Premier League table, and some fans seemed to enjoy Niasse's moment almost as much as witnessing Romelu Lukaku's four-goal haul. https://twitter.com/RoyalBlueEFC/status/827920224624189447 https://twitter.com/Gilology/status/827923500098797568 https://twitter.com/MikeJGWright/status/827923732828213249 https://twitter.com/GameofThrowIns/status/827920204227309569 https://twitter.com/Ayyylmao94/status/827922786840674305 https://twitter.com/LuvEvertonForum/status/827921151586353152 Those in the red half of Merseyside weren't quite so happy with how things turned out, and can you blame them? https://twitter.com/arniebennett/status/827920763378421760 https://twitter.com/lfcmaestro23/status/827920299828068352 Catch up with this week's episode of 888sport Football Friday Live
