Everton 1-1 Leeds: Thierno Barry scores again in Premier League to cancel out James Justin's opener

Thierno Barry continued his strong scoring form with a second-half equaliser to earn Everton a 1-1 home draw against Leeds.

Barry, who scored just once in his first 18 league appearances, poked in a 76th-minute leveller for a fourth goal in five top-flight games.

Everton could not find a winner as Idrissa Gueye struck the bar just two minutes after Barry's goal, with the Toffees' winless home run extending to five games as they moved into the top half of the table.

Sixteenth-placed Leeds, meanwhile, are six points above the drop and remain with only one away league win this season.

It was a point for David Moyes' side that had looked unlikely at half-time, as Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher said Everton had made Leeds "look like Real Madrid".

James Justin had given the visitors a deserved 28th-minute lead, firing home from Anton Stach's cross.

Six minutes later, Dominic Calvert-Lewin nearly haunted Everton as he hit the post in his first game against them since joining Leeds in the summer on a free transfer.

Everton were booed off at half-time after they failed to have a shot on target, while Leeds had 10 attempts in the first half.

Moyes responded by making a double half-time substitution by bringing on Jarrad Branthwaite and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to match up Leeds' three at the back - and it worked a treat.

The home side were jolted into life as Barry poked home from Gueye's cross to prevent Leeds from claiming back-to-back league wins for the first time this season.
