Everton came from behind to beat Coventry City 3-1 at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Friday. Yann Gboho put the visitors ahead in the 52nd minute, before Thierno Barry equalised in the 56th and scored again in the 61st. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall added a third in the 81st.

Sky Sports reports that Coventry also had three VAR decisions go against them during the match, and The Guardian says two strong penalty appeals were dismissed.

The win lifts Everton to fifth in the Premier League with 16 points from 10 games, while Coventry remain 16th on nine points. Frank Lampard faced his former club as Coventry manager, and L'Équipe describes it as Everton's fourth league win of the season.

RMC Sport reports that Barry, 24, has 10 goals in all competitions this season, six of them in his last seven matches. FootVal's valuation of him is 37 million euros, against his market value of 35 million euros on Transfermarkt, and his contract runs until June 2029.
