Everton secured a 3-1 victory over Coventry City, with Thierno Barry scoring a brace to propel the club into 5th place in the league. The 24-year-old striker came alive inside the six-yard box after coming from behind, adding his second goal of the campaign and the club's third win in three matches. Barry has now found the back of the net in three successive games, his sixth of the last seven and tenth of the season—two more than his first campaign.
While Yann Gboho equalized early before Barry doubling his tally with a clinical finish from barely two yards out, Everton's goalkeeper Carl Rushworth struggled to keep him out. The win also shifted focus away from Jack Grealish, who returned to Finch Farm after a four-match absence due to disciplinary issues. Manager David Moyes saw Barry's form as the club's only recognized striker prove a major boost.
