In-form Barry salvages a point for Everton
Thierno Barry's Premier League purple patch continued as his 76th-minute strike helped Everton claim a 1-1 draw with Leeds United.
The in-form Everton forward found the back of the net for the fourth time in his last five top-flight outings, cancelling out James Justin's first-half strike at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Leeds' fast start was rewarded in the 28th minute when Anton Stach's cross was thumped home at the back post by Justin, with the visitor going close to a second soon after.
On his first return to Everton, Dominic Calvert-Lewin nearly got himself into double figures in the top flight this season, but saw his shot from close range cannon against the post.
After David Moyes introduced both Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jarrad Branthwaite at half-time and altered Everton's shape, the Toffees improved significantly.
Karl Darlow did brilliantly to save Barry's outside-of-the-foot attempt at full stretch, but the Leeds goalkeeper could do nothing to stop Everton's number 11 from restoring parity.
Barry got himself in front of Sebastiaan Bornauw before lifting Idrissa Gueye's delivery into the roof of the net, with Moyes' men coming within inches of claiming all three points.
After being teed up by substitute Tyler Dibling on the edge of the box, Gueye, fresh from his Africa Cup of Nations triumph with Senegal, thundered his strike against the crossbar as the spoils were shared on Merseyside.
