- Everton came from behind to beat Coventry City 3-1 in a Premier League match, with Barry scoring twice to overturn the deficit.
- Thierno Barry struck twice inside a four-minute double to seal the comeback, having been billed as the Toffees' in-form forward.
- Coventry City suffered a triple VAR woe during the 3-1 defeat, with three separate decisions counted against them.
- Premier League standings: the victory moved Everton into fifth place in the table, the concrete change attached to the comeback win.
Why it matters: Everton's climb to fifth in the Premier League table is the material consequence of a comeback they had to engineer, with Barry's brace providing the margin. Coventry City, by contrast, finished a 3-1 defeat having absorbed three VAR decisions against them, so their night carried a wrinkle the scoreline alone does not show.
