The Story in 60 Seconds

Everton defeated Coventry City 3-1 on David Moyes' record-tying 592nd match in charge, moving the Toffees up to fifth place in the Premier League. Yann Gboho initially put Coventry ahead early in the second half before Barry scored two goals to turn the game around. Kieran Dewsbury-Hall sealed the victory late in the match with Everton's third goal.

Coventry created several opportunities and had two penalty appeals dismissed following VAR checks, including a first-half incident involving James Tarkowski and Caleb Yirenkyi. Barry's second goal stood following a review for a potential handball, leaving Frank Lampard's Coventry side facing the risk of falling into the relegation zone.
