Erling Haaland and Thierno Barry
Erling Haaland and Thierno Barry
The Toffes were trailing to Yann Gboho's 52nd-minute opener on home turf.
But 24-year-old Barry scored twice to turn the game on its head, before Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall made sure of the win late on.
Barry has been a frustrating figure at times for Everton this season, but he now has six Premier League goals for the campaign.
Former Chelsea and Aston Villa midfielder Sidwell thinks Barry has a high ceiling, and noted a similarity to Manchester City ace Erling Haaland.
Where Steve Sidwell thinks Barry has Haaland-esque quality
Barry is a source of frustration to Everton supporters at times despite his decent return at times.
While he is among the goals this season, Barry has a tendency to be wasteful in front of goal and should have more to this name this term.
But Sidwell has seen enough to be convinced that Barry can be a top talent and believes the Toffees could struggle to hold onto him long term.
He backed the Frenchman to move to a "top-six club" in the future if he can stay among the goals.
Sidwell said he was reluctant to directly compare him to Haaland, but thinks he is similar in the way he can be quiet in games but still contribute in front of goal.
Speaking live on Sky Sports News, Sidwell said: "Where football is done so much now on stats and the analytical side of it, his numbers stack up when not massively in the game - I wouldn't go as far as Haaland, where Haaland has three touches and scores goals, but he sort of goes unnoticed doesn't he?
"I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a big move here from a top-six club.
"Look at the goals he scores, anything that goes into the box he's competing for, more often that not he makes a goalkeeper make a save, he scores goals, he's got the knack of being in the right place at the right time.
"Everton have got a real good player there and they've got to try and keep hold of him."
Still a way to go for Barry at Everton
It feels a little premature to making these sort of claims in all honesty.
Moreover, it feels a little disrespectful to be suggesting Barry should be on the lookout for a move bigger than Everton.
Yes, Barry is among the goals right now, and there is an appreciation for his workrate and his willing attitude.
But for Barry to take that next step he really needs to start being far more clinical in front of goal.
He is getting himself into good positions, he is getting involved in the box, but there has to be much better return.
Maybe then can we start talking about how high his potential is.
