Barry On Double-Figure Delight & Key Work With Baines

A delighted Thierno Barry described Everton’s 3-1 victory over Coventry City on Friday evening as “the perfect game.” 

The French forward netted a brace against Frank Lampard’s Sky Blues, while also registering his first assist of the season. 

Barry’s goals took him to double figures across all competitions for the campaign, with only Erling Haaland (nine) and Alexander Isak (seven) having struck more Premier League goals this season than Barry (six).

Asked about his strong form, Barry told evertontv: “I'm very happy because it's always a pleasure to score and I'm so happy to do my first assist in the Premier League. So yeah, [it was] the perfect game.

“I want to make this season mine, so I just work a lot every time to do my best.

“I think I’ve done a lot of good things. I’ve worked a lot during pre-season, and also with Bainesy during training sessions.

“Things are better now. The fans know me more. I’m very happy we’re now in the same way.”
