Unai Emery's Aston Villa were stopped by Everton on Sunday afternoon, in a duel on the 22nd round of the Premier League. The 'Villains' had more possession of the ball, twice as many shots... but a goal from Thierno Barry dictated the Liverpool team's triumph. The game started badly for Villa, with an injury to John McGinn that prevented him from continuing on the field. In the 18th minute, it was replaced by Evan Guessand. Everton threatened in the first half, with a goal disallowed by O'Brien. In the second half, young striker Thierno Barry scored the only goal of the game, in the 59th minute. The goal scorer (who is in great form) would be conceded by the Portuguese-Guinean Beto, in the 84th minute. In this way, Aston Villa remains in third place, with the same points as Manchester City (second) - 43. Both lost in this round. Everton has 32 points, in tenth place, but very close to the places for access to European competitions. Thierno Barry has scored 3️⃣ goals in his last 4️⃣ Premier League games.Starting to find form at Everton 📈 pic.twitter.com/T5mnXmLS4U — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) January 18, 2026
