Barry rescues point for Everton in 1-1 home draw with Leeds
On Jan 26, Everton striker Thierno Barry scored a late equaliser 14 minutes from full-time at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, clipping a finish past Leeds goalkeeper Karl Darlow from Idrissa Gueye's low cross.
David Moyes switched to a back three at half-time, introducing Jarrad Branthwaite and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall as Everton targeted points to push for European qualification.
Leeds took the lead in the 28th minute when Anton Stach's low cross set up James Justin, while Leeds United dominated the opening 45 with 10 shots and Dominic Calvert-Lewin hitting the post.
The draw left Everton 10th with 33 points, denying a chance to move closer to European places, while Leeds United moved to 26 points, six above the Premier League relegation zone.
Barry's form has improved markedly, scoring four goals in his last five after netting one in his first 18 following his move from Villarreal last year, easing fans' frustration at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
