Everton striker Thierno Barry finally got off the mark in the 3-0 win against Nottingham Forest on the weekend.
Thierno Barry had to wait 17 games to get his first goal for Everton, and it was a brilliant finish to end the wait.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall said it was the loudest he’d heard the Hill Dickinson when Barry scored, and the Frenchman was so thankful to the fans for their support.
Will Barry really kick on now?

David Moyes admitted Barry needed that goal, as he was considering bringing Beto back into the starting line-up.
With that said, the club have just released some tunnel footage from Saturday’s win, and it’s very telling about the young French striker.

Barry could be seen smiling from ear to ear as he made his way into the home changing room, and one thing was very apparent from the footage.
Every single person connected to Everton, whether it be Barry’s teammates, the coaches, the press officer and what appears to be security, patted him on the back and congratulated him.
Evidently, the club are keen to show their support to the £30m summer signing and watching that video makes you realise that Barry must be feeling very loved, despite the challenging start to his career on Merseyside.
Everton fans rose to their feet when Barry was subbed off, so everyone is playing their part in trying to make him a success.
Thierno Barry could go on a goalscoring streak now
How often do we see strikers go through a bad patch and then that first goal kick-starts everything into gear, and they go on a proper goalscoring streak?
Well, Everton will certainly be hopeful that happens to Barry, and he does have a history of hitting purple patches.

At Basel, the 23-year-old went a whopping six months without a goal and then went on a run of scoring nine goals in 13 games.
That form earned him a move to Villarreal in the summer of 2024, and he just started where he left off at the La Liga outfit.
So, perhaps the confidence gained from that Forest goal will really push him on heading into the Chelsea game this weekend.
