In-form Thierno Barry scores twice as Everton came from behind to beat Coventry as the Toffees move into fifth in the Premier League table.
Liverpool, England (AP) — Thierno Barry scored twice in a five-minute span of the second half as Everton fought back to defeat Coventry 3-1, propelling the team into the upper echelons of the Premier League standings on Friday. Barry netted the goals in the 56th and 61st minutes, after Coventry took an early lead through Yan Gboho in the 52nd minute.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's late goal sealed the win for Everton. The victory marked three consecutive wins for David Moyes' side, totaling 16 points and moving them up to fifth place in the league table. Moyes achieved a personal milestone by taking charge of his 592nd match with the Toffees, matching the record held by Harry Catterick since 1973. Coventry, returning to the Premier League this season after a 25-year hiatus, stayed in 16th place.
