  "account": "David Moyes praised Everton striker Thierno Barry following the team's 3-1 victory against Coventry City. After trailing to Yann Gboho's goal early in the second half, Barry scored twice in a span of just five minutes to turn the game around in Everton's favor. Despite giving away a poor goal, Moyes emphasized the importance of Barry's double, stating that it was 'huge for us' and that Barry can now tell him 'I told you so'. The 24-year-old has been more clinical this season, netting 10 goals in total, surpassing his entire goal count from the previous campaign. Barry, who has six goals in his last seven appearances across all competitions, has been known for missing easy chances in the past but has shown significant improvement this season. He aims to match Manchester City's Erling Haaland by scoring the most goals in all competitions this season. Everton currently stands in fifth place following their third straight win in all competitions.",
  "summary": "'We always liked him and we want him to keep scoring,' said the Everton head coach.",
