Agosto 26, 2026 lojamais44@gmail.com

Thierno Barry scored three goals and set up the other as Everton sauntered into the third round of the Carabao Cup by way of a 4-0 win over Preston at Deepdale.

The French striker scored eight goals in 41 games in 2025/26 and, after his first of the season in Saturday’s Premier League win over Crystal Palace, is now already halfway to matching that total despite having played 38 games fewer.

The Toffees – who have not progressed past the third round since 2023/24 – will find out their opponents when the draw is made live on Sky Sports at around 10.30pm.

The key moments from Deepdale…

25: GOAL! After nine previous attempts, Thierno Barry finishes off a slick move to put Everton in front.
39: CHANCE! Merlin Rohl gifts Preston a chance when he misjudges a bounce, allowing Delano Burgzorg to pull the ball back to Leo Leroy, who fires over from a promising position.
45: SAVE! Great stop from North End debutant Lee Nicholls, who denies Tyler Dibling at his near post.
47: BLOCK! James Tarkowski sticks a foot in to brilliantly turn away Delano Burgzorg’s shot as Preston chase an equaliser.
59: GOAL! Iliman Ndiaye tees up Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, whose cross is pushed straight into the path of Barry, who makes no mistake.
65: SAVE! Jordan Pickford makes his only significant save of the night to keep out a sweetly-struck overhead kick from Callum Lang.
70: GOAL! Dewsbury-Hall finds substitute Brennan Johnson, who gains a yard on Lewis Gibson and squares for Barry, who sweeps in to complete his hat-trick.
72: GOAL! Barry turns provider, laying a beautiful ball off for Johnson, who arrives in a similar position, but this time goes alone to add the gloss.
