Thierno Barry finally scored his frist goal for Everton, helping them win 3-0 against Nottingham Forest. This win puts Everton just one point behind the top four teams.
Everton manager David Moyes’ decision to trust the young striker paid off. It was a good result for Moyes against his predecessor, Sean Dyche.
This was Barry’s 17th game since joining from Villarreal for £27 million, and his sixth start in a row. Moyes chose to start Barry instead of the more experienced Beto.
Neither forward had scored much – only one league goal between them – and for the first 45 minutes, Barry didn’t make a big impact.
He struggled physically against Nikola Milenkovic.
