Ndiaye was also applauded by Everton fans as he limped down the tunnel.
The Senegalese ace was eventually replaced by Jack Harrison 25 minutes into the Merseyside derby with the score 1-1.
There was concern for Ndiaye from the TNT Sports commentary box, with Ally McCoist saying: "I think Dominik Szoboszlai might have caught Ndiaye and that is what knocks him off balance.
"He kicks the floor. He looks like he may just have tweaked his knee."
