Thierno Barry scored twice as Everton came from behind to beat Coventry City 3–1 at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Friday, November 6.
The victory was Everton’s third in a row and moved the club into fifth place in the Premier League ahead of the rest of the weekend’s matches. That position is provisional while other teams complete their fixtures.
Coventry took the lead through Yann Gboho in the 52nd minute after the teams reached halftime without a goal. Everton overturned the deficit quickly: Barry equalized in the 56th minute and scored again in the 61st.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall added the third in the 81st minute after a pass from Barry, completing the comeback and giving the striker a direct role in all three Everton goals.
Barry’s double took his season tally to 10 goals, according to Everton’s match report. His two goals changed a match that Coventry had led shortly after the interval into a home win before the international break.
The match also marked a managerial milestone. It was David Moyes’ 592nd game in charge of Everton across his spells at the club, equalling the record held by Harry Catterick, the club said.
Coventry, managed by former Everton manager Frank Lampard, were unable to retain their second-half advantage. The final score and scoring times were confirmed in the club’s report and independent match coverage.
