Everton 3-1 Coventry City: Player Ratings

**Thierno Barry scored twice, laid on an assist for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Everton came back to beat Coventry City 3-1 at Hill Dickinson Stadium.**

That’s 3 straight wins for David Moyes’s men, who have turned their form around to head into the international break in a fantastic position.

Here’s how Everton’s players rated.

**Jordan Pickford — 7** Had a couple of saves to make either side of half-time, with the highlight being a stop from Tatsuhiro Sakamoto. Commanded his box well and could do nothing about the Coventry goal.

**Merlin Röhl — 5** Didn’t really make an impact going forward and was exposed defensively at times, including for Coventry’s opener.

**James Tarkowski — 6** Perhaps lucky to escape punishment for a potential hair-pull in the first half. Otherwise solid, but that was a bit of a brain fart.

**Jarrad Branthwaite — 6** Was poor for Coventry’s goal, and we expect better from such a quality operator. But he was dominant in the air again, winning 8/9 aerial duels.

**Vitalii Mykolenko — 8** Another one lucky not to concede a penalty, after he tripped Taiwo Awoniyi right on the line of the box, but that aside he was excellent, and also grabbed an assist with a quality cross in for Barry’s equaliser.

**James Garner — 6** Just left the midfield a bit too empty at times in the first hour, but from then on, he showed his class, and was typically combative throughout.

**Harrison Armstrong — 6** Plenty of energy again, but a lack of craft from him at times, and there was again a lack of balance in the midfield.

**Tyler Dibling — 6** Couldn’t get into the game on his first Premier League start of the campaign, though he did then play a part in Everton’s equaliser as he stood up a cross to the back post. Needs to show more but also needs to be given opportunities.

**Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall — 8** Some sloppy moments in the first half, when it wouldn’t quite click for him, but he was superb in the final 30 minutes, and capped it off with a brutal finish to show Thomas Tuchel what he’s missing.

**Tyrique George — 6** A pretty poor first 60 minutes, but George really stepped up after he created Everton’s second goal with some quick feet and a neat cross. Came on strong from there.

**Thierno Barry — 9** Seemingly can’t stop scoring, and his assist took him to 11 goal involvements in all competitions this season, a figure bettered by only Erling Haaland (13) among Premier League players.

**Jake O’Brien — 6** Helped sure things up when he replaced Röhl.

**Hayden Hackney — 7** Really sharp and bright on the ball. Always looking to play forward and make incisive runs.

**Brennan Johnson — 6** Couldn’t really make an impact but worked hard to keep Coventry on their toes.

**Micheal Keane — N/A**

**Carlos Alcaraz — N/A**
