"Thierno Barry's Premier League purple patch continued as his 76th-minute strike helped Everton claim a 1-1 draw with Leeds United. The in-form Everton forward found the back of the net for the fourth time in his last five top-flight outings, cancelling out James Justin's first-half strike at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Leeds' fast start was rewarded in the 28th minute when Anton Stach's cross was thumped home at the back post by Justin, with the visitors going close to a second soon after."
"But after David Moyes introduced both Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jarrad Branthwaite at half-time and altered Everton's shape, the Toffees improved significantly. Karl Darlow did brilliantly to save Barry's outside-of-the-foot attempt at full stretch, but the Leeds goalkeeper could do nothing to stop Everton's number 11 from restoring parity. Barry got himself in front of Sebastiaan Bornauw before lifting Idrissa Gueye's delivery into the roof of the net, with Moyes' men coming within inches of claiming all three points."
Thierno Barry scored a 76th-minute equaliser to earn Everton a 1-1 draw at Leeds, his fourth goal in five Premier League appearances. James Justin had opened the scoring in the 28th minute from Anton Stach's cross. Dominic Calvert-Lewin struck the post as Everton threatened early on. David Moyes brought on Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jarrad Branthwaite at half-time and changed Everton's shape, which improved their performance. Karl Darlow saved an earlier Barry effort, and Barry later met Idrissa Gueye's delivery to score. Gueye then hit the crossbar after a Tyler Dibling assist. Leeds finished with an expected goals total of 1.23.
