Everton player ratings vs Ipswich: Thierno Barry takes the plaudits as 4/10 teammate a real let down

Everton came out on top against Ipswich Town on Saturday with a 1-0 victory.

David Moyes made one change to the side that drew 0-0 with Tottenham last time out in the Premier League.

Jack Grealish replaced Tyrique George on the left flank, but the rest of the team was unchanged.

Thierno Barry opened the scoring when James Tarkowski's shot ricocheted off him.

He thought he had a second goal, but his header was ruled out due to an offside call.

The Toffees held on to secure all three points at the Hill Dickinson Stadium and Abdul Fatawu was sent off for the visitors.

Thierno Barry stars again in Everton win

Barry has now notched five goals in all competitions this season after his goal against the Tractor Boys.

It looked fortuitous but later replays make it look like he moved his body to make the ball change direction.

Barry only had 26 touches in the contest, per FotMob data, but he made his impact count when he had the chance.

The Frenchman completed 11 of the 13 passes that he attempted for a 85 per cent success rate.

He had four touches in the opposition box and three total shots in the clash.

If he continue to grab goals at his current rate, it should be a very profitable season, and he will take the plaudits a lot more.

Why Brennan Johnson could not get up and running

Brennan Johnson was handed the chance to start but if it safe to say that he did not take it and was a real let down.

The former Crystal Palace man was hooked in the 66th minute, as he did not have the required impact.

He had just 26 touches and recorded two shots off target in a miserable performance.

Johnson completed just 50 per cent of his pass attempts, with just one pass into the final third.

He attempted just one cross, but it did not find a teammate, as his attacking attempts were stumped.

He did contribute eight times defensively, but that is not his main role

If he wants to start more, he needs to start coming up with the goods.

His afternoon was summed up when he was ruled to have interfered from an offside position when Barry thought he had added a second.
