Thierno Barry bagged a brace as Everton came from behind to beat Coventry City 3-1 on Friday night.
After a goalless first-half, Coventry took the lead seven minutes after the restart as Yann Gboho coolly slotted the ball into the back of the net whilst being surrounded by a number of Everton defenders.
Their lead only lasted four minutes, however, as Everton striker Barry headed home a inviting cross from left-back Vitalii Mykolenko.
The Toffees then completed a quick turnaround just after the hour mark as Barry bundled in his second from close range.
Barry turned provider nine minutes from time as he threaded a through ball to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, with the midfielder firing a powerful effort past Carl Rushworth in the Coventry goal.
The victory has propelled Everton up to fifth in the Premier League table, while Coventry remain 16th and two points above the relegation zone.
