Commentary
Four second-half goals liven up a damp clash on Merseyside as Everton fight back against Coventry City to win 3-1 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. The first half was one of untaken chances and a reasonable penalty claim against Tarkowski. With the visitors looking more lively, it only seemed right they snatched the lead through Gboho in the second half. Turning in the box, the recent arrival from Toulouse punished the Toffees' inability to clear a bundling move to poke artfully past Pickford in the 52nd minute. This clearly came as a wake-up call for the men in blue, as four minutes later, they were level with Barry heading in well from a mischievous Mykolenko cross. Five minutes after his first goal, the towering Frenchman rose to a George cross at the right post and turned the game around. Despite a brief question of handball, he powered home from close range for his 10th goal in all competitions. Nine minutes from the 90, Barry capped off a fine display by turning provider. In something of a role reversal, he sent Dewsbury-Hall darting in behind on the left before the midfielder sumptuously squeezed past Rushworth at his near post. After this 2.25xG-topping performance, Everton now celebrate three wins on the trot in the league and cup to go from seventh to fifth. While they worked well around their 1.4 xG, a frustrated Coventry continue in 16th at the time of writing. Thanks for joining us tonight. Goodbye!
FULL-TIME: EVERTON 3-1 COVENTRY CITY
Hackney powers on target, but Rushworth is there to get behind it routinely.
Everton are cruising at the minute. Well, until Barry gives the home fans another reason to love him with a fine sliding challenge to stop a hoof upfield.
TCHAOUNA! Hamer puts through an outstanding ball to his fellow substitute, and the Frenchman whizzes a low effort across the goalmouth from practically over on the left byline!
Up goes the board. There'll be a minimum of six minutes of added time here.
