  "summary": "Everton defeated Coventry 3-1 on Friday after coming from behind to win via two Thierno Barry goals and a late strike from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Yann Gboho had previously given Coventry the lead following the break.\n\nCoventry manager Frank Lampard questioned why his side was not awarded a penalty following an incident where James Tarkowski tugged Caleb Yirenkyi's hair while jumping for a ball. Although referee Stuart Attwell dismissed the claims, Lampard argued that if the hair pull is considered a foul under the rules, it should have resulted in a penalty. Yahoo Sports notes that rules regarding hair pulling have been relaxed this season and do not automatically result in a foul or red card unless excessive force is used.\n\nLampard also suggested that Taiwo Awoniyi was fouled by Vitalii Mykolenko before Coventry took the lead, according to Yahoo Sports. The manager noted that Coventry felt a trio of decisions went against them during the match.",
