Everton held Leeds United to a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park, thanks in large part to Thierno Barry's equalizing goal late on. The Toffees had taken the lead through Dominic Calvert-Lewin's opening strike before Barry levelled the score with just five minutes remaining, securing a hard-fought point for his team.
Leeds had started strongly and were rewarded in the 19th minute when Mateusz Klich nodded home from a corner kick to give the visitors an early advantage. But Everton responded well, creating several scoring opportunities as they sought to level the scores before halftime.
In the second half, Barry began to make his mark, with his first chance falling wide but he made amends in the 79th minute by latching onto a through ball and slotting past Illan Meslier into the bottom corner. The equalizer sparked a frantic finish, as both teams threw everything at each other, but ultimately the draw was secured for Everton.
The result sees the Toffees move up to 11th in the Premier League table, while Leeds fall to 16th. Despite the disappointing nature of the outcome, Barry's goal marked another impressive performance from the Everton midfielder, who continues his remarkable form this season.

! The guy's got skills for days and is proving to be a game-changer for Everton. I mean, taking the lead back with just 5 minutes left on the clock shows he's got the composure of a pro. And let's be real, Leeds were well in it at one point, but they couldn't quite close out the win 
. It's not always easy to get points away from home, especially against a team like Everton that's been making some noise this season. Still, the Toffees' fans will take any draw they can get right now 
. And Barry's goal was just the spark they needed to turn it around... he's definitely one to keep an eye on 
!
they were killin it in the first half and i was like "what's goin on with leeds all of a sudden" 
but then thierno barry comes outta nowhere and saves eviltons bacon 
his goal was like a dream come true, i was screaming at my screen 
i've been watchin them games with my bf and we were both on the edge of our seats when he scored, it was so intense 
. overall, it was just another draw in the league, but you gotta give barry props for that equalizer... 11th spot isn't bad for everton though 
, but at the same time, it's also pretty frustrating that they couldn't hold onto the lead and ended up drawing 1-1 
. Leeds didn't make it easy for them, but I reckon Everton should be able to hold onto those points. Still, 11th in the table isn't bad at all 
i saw him on tv 2nite & he was literally running up&down the pitch 2nd half lol my fave team everlantern 
️! Thierno Barry's equalizing goal was pure magic 
️
. That 1-1 draw might not be the result they wanted 
, but points are still points 
, right? 
They're moving up to 11th in the league now, which is huge for them 
did u see the replay of thier corner kick? mateusz klich was like a headless chicken trying to head the ball 
and then barry's goal was insane! what a relief for everton fans 
anyway back to everton, they deserve that point after coming from behind like that. their team effort was solid as well, i think that calvert-lewin guy is a beast up front 
goodison park got some serious energy now 
also, mateusz klich's corner kick was pretty cool 
. But for real tho, Thierno Barry is the real MVP, he came out of nowhere and saved Everton from a 0-1 embarrassment 
. And Leeds gotta wonder what could've been if they didn't let him get that goal... mate, you can't just give it to someone on a plate like that 
meslier did well to keep those goals out 
He's been on fire lately and it's awesome to see him getting the recognition he deserves. The draw might not be the most satisfying result for Everton fans, but at least they got a point out of it, right? 
- he just keeps taking us on these incredible twists and turns with his goals 
. And let's be real, Leeds is one of those teams that always gives you a run for your money 
. I'm loving Barry's form this season, he's like a new player altogether 
. And now they're just 5th in the league table, not 11th like everyone's saying 
. I mean, Leeds had dominated the first half and seemed so confident after that early goal... but then Barry shows up out of nowhere and spoils the party 
. The way he slotted it past Meslier was sweet justice 
. Still, can't fault Everton for not taking more advantage of their chances before halftime 
Thierno Barry is like a superhero on the pitch 
! Everton needed him so bad, and now they're all happy 
. Leeds played well too, but unfortunately, it wasn't enough 
. Barry's goal was like a magic trick 
Anyway, great game, and I'm loving the drama of this match
