Barry Double Fires Everton Past Coventry as Moyes Equals Club Record

Thierno Barry continued his red-hot run with two goals and an assist as Everton came from behind to beat Coventry 3-1 at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Friday night and climb to fifth in the Premier League.

Coventry, the top-flight newcomers, stunned the home crowd when Yann Gboho fired them ahead early in the second half, but Barry answered within five minutes, heading in at the back post before bundling home a second amid handball protests that VAR waved away.

The French striker then turned provider nine minutes from time, threading Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall through to smash home the third and seal a third successive win in all competitions for David Moyes’ side.

Moyes matches a club great

The victory came in Moyes’ 592nd match in charge of Everton, drawing him level with Harry Catterick’s club record — a fitting landmark on a night his striker could do no wrong.

Lampard fumes at VAR

Coventry boss Frank Lampard was furious with three decisions going against his side, insisting James Tarkowski’s hair pull on Caleb Yirenkyi should have been a penalty and that Barry handled the ball for his second goal. The visitors stay 16th, two points above the drop zone.
