Red-hot Barry strikes twice as Everton sink Coventry

Everton's Thierno Barry extended his impressive scoring streak with a double against Coventry, helping the team secure a 3-1 victory and climb into fifth place in the Premier League. The French striker netted twice within a span of just five minutes, turning the tide in favor of Everton. David Moyes, Everton's manager, had previously expressed concern about Barry potentially surpassing Erling Haaland as the Premier League's most lethal striker, though the latter's goal count remained behind Barry's this season.

Barry now boasts 10 goals this season, surpassing his total from the entire 2025-26 campaign. The 24-year-old's form has improved significantly since his move from Villarreal, with six goals in his last seven appearances across all competitions. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored the decisive goal in the 89th minute, extending Everton's winning streak in all competitions to three matches.

Despite Coventry's frustration with two rejected penalty appeals and VAR decisions, the match ended favorably for Everton, marking a notable victory for Moyes as he equalled the record of 592 games managed by Harry Catterick.
