Thierno Barry (centre) proved too hot for Coventry to handle, netting twice in the space of just five minutes to turn the game in Everton’s favour after the Toffees fell behind.
LIVERPOOL – David Moyes said Thierno Barry had proved his point after the Everton striker’s double inspired a 3-1 win against Coventry on Nov 6.
Moyes’s side trailed to Yann Gboho’s goal early in the second half at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
But Barry proved too hot for Coventry to handle, netting twice in the space of just five minutes to turn the game in Everton’s favour.
Barry has already reached 10 goals this season, surpassing his total for the entire 2025-26 campaign.
That miserable first season with Everton following his move from Villarreal is quickly becoming a distant memory of the in-form 24-year-old, who has six goals in his last seven appearances in all competitions.
