That's the end of this live text now. Thanks for joining us tonight.

We'll be back tomorrow for four more Premier League games - and the FA Cup first round too.

Everton

Everton striker Thierno Barry speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It's always a pleasure to score and for my team to win so I'm very happy. I just work a lot during this summer so we can see the results so I'm happy and I need to continue like this to help my team win every game.

"To be fair sometimes it is difficult when you miss a lot of chances your mind is sometimes bad but I always work to do my best.

On playing at Hill Dickinson: "It's always a pleasure to play at home. The fans here are incredible. They sing from the first minute until the end. It is a real pleasure to score here and to play here."

On only Erling Haaland scoring more goals than him in all competitions: "I'm very happy because I'm a fan of him. I watch a lot of videos of him and try and do the things he does. If I can play with him until the end to get the Golden Boot I will try."

On his dance celebration: "I was on TikTok yesterday and I saw an NFL guy do the celebration and I said to Tyrique [George] if we score tomorrow we do the dance like that but I think he was shy to do it so I do the dance alone."

Thierno Barry was the highest scorer unsurprisingly.

Tonight was the first time David Moyes had faced Coventry in the Premier League. Everton's 3-1 win maintains his record of having beaten 100% of the sides he has faced in the competition (45/45).

Everton

Everton boss David Moyes speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I wasn't quite so sure about a good performance. We got a performance and we got a result but I have to say Coventry made it really difficult for us. You can see why they have picked up some really good results. They won at Forest and beat Sunderland the other week. They had a couple of decisions that might have gone in their favour and against us tonight. It was good but in the end we got the goals which mattered and when you win in the Premier League you take it because it is so hard to get the wins."

"We gave away a really poor goal but the reaction from there was really good. Important that Thierno Barry got another couple of goals tonight which was huge for us. He can smile at me now and say I told you so and that's good. We always liked him and we want him to keep scoring. He's missed quite a few chances but tonight he got important goals for us. He's becoming an important piece for us and he's got 10 goals for us which is really good."

On the James Tarkowski hair pull and Thierno Barry's second goal being potential handball: "I've seen the goal, I didn't think it hit his hand. I've certainly not seen the hair pull, that's for sure. I think a hair pull nowadays only gets you a booking, doesn't it? I need to see if it was a hair pull in the first place because I've not seen that myself and I didn't even know about it but I will get a look at it and see."

On Jack Grealish and when Everton fans may see him again: "There's no more detail at the moment."

In the FA Cup first round tonight, Leicester City won 4-2 at Oxford City and Bristol Rovers beat Cambridge United 2-0.

Everton have handed 75 starts to English players so far this season, the most by a team in the first 10 games of a Premier League season since Burnley in 2021-22 (84) and Everton's most since 1994-95 (87).

David Moyes is the first non-English manager to do this since Martin O'Neill with Leicester in 1996-97 (80).

Everton

Everton midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, speaking to Sky Sports: "Very, very important. It has been a fantastic week. Three games, three wins. I'm so happy with how the lads managed to respond to going down tonight. I'm just really happy we managed to get the three points here at home, so happy, happy days."

What is different about this Everton team? "I just think our mentality this year has gone from strength. You saw in the early games this season we scored a couple last minute equalisers. We never know when we are out of a game. Look, every time we have gone down this season, we have reacted in a positive manner. Today it was almost like their goal kicked us into gear - which shouldn't happen really, but it did - and I thought after they scored we just turned it up a notch. We were fantastic for the last 30 minutes. They couldn't deal with it."

On playing with Thierno Barry: "I'm really, really enjoying it. I've got a really good hybrid role in this team, where the gaffer is giving me the freedom to pop up all over the pitch. I feel like I'm getting a really good relationship with Thierno now. I'm buzzing that he keeps on getting the goals because he deserves it so much. He's come back from the summer like a different player, and all credit to him because without him tonight - to kick-started us into the gear - we probably don't win the game."

On missing out on the England squad: "It was a disappointing morning, I'm not going to lie. It's a massive dream to play for my country. I know I was close. Yeah, sad, but really proud of myself and how I have reacted. All I can keep doing is putting in good performances and hopefully one day I get the nod, because I'm never going to give up. I've got the mentality. I'll keep pushing and pushing and see what happens."

Coventry City

Coventry boss Frank Lampard speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "A lot of good stuff in the way we played which makes it really difficult to lose the game. Big decisions affected the game, clearly.

"The VAR ones, VAR looked at them. The [James Tarkowski] hair pull on Caleb [Yirenkyi], Taiwo [Awoniyi] I think he gets contact on the edge of the box which is a penalty. Then the second goal for them comes off the player's hand. If you're going to check the angles, there is an angle where it flicks in off his hand. VAR looked at it and decided not. The last touch to score is off the hand, in my opinion.

"I've seen a conclusive angle so I can disagree. I understand they are going to back themselves that's fine and it's hard to say it's not a hair pull. It's an in-between kind of hair pull, that's a funny area to be in so I don't get that one either.

"We have to keep working, I'm seeing progression in the team. We have to work hard. There is a good spirit with us and we have to keep improving."

In the Championship, lowly Derby came from behind to beat Bolton 3-1 to end a 10-game winless run.

In what is his 764th Premier League match as a manager, tonight was only the second time David Moyes named three players under the age of 21 (Dibling, George, Armstrong) in his starting XI; the other was in February 2009 in his first spell with Everton, against Newcastle (Anichebe, Gosling, Rodwell).

Tonight was just the third time Everton had gone 1-0 down in the second half of a Premier League game then come back to win by more than one goal, along with 3-1 wins over West Ham in November 2008 and Burnley in September 2021.

Among Premier League players, only Erling Haaland (14) has more goals in all competitions this season than Thierno Barry (10), with the Everton forward now scoring more goals in 13 games this season than he managed in 41 games last season (8).

Sometimes you need things to go your way in football, you need a bit of luck and there is no doubt Everton had it today.

The [James Tarkowski hair pull on] Caleb Yirenkyi should have been a penalty, the Taiwo Awoniyi one should have been a penalty.

I think the VAR brushed that aside too quickly because I think his foot is definitely on the line.

That might have changed the whole complexion of the game but it didn't and Everton got the points.

They stuck with it and they kept going, they've got that bit of quality right now.

Coventry City have lost seven of their first 10 league games in a season for just the third time in their history, also doing so in 1919-20 (9) and 1920-21 (7), which were their first two seasons in the Football League.

Thierno Barry has six Premier League goals this season.

The only Everton players with more in their first 10 games in a season are Romelu Lukaku in 2016-17 (seven) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin in 2020-21 (10).

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has scored four goals in five league appearances against Coventry - twice as many as he has scored against any other club (three goals for Leicester, one goal for Everton).

Three big VAR calls, and they all went against Coventry. Frank Lampard must have walked under a ladder earlier today.

There is a strong argument that the Sky Blues should have been awarded a penalty just before half-time for a hair pull by James Tarkowski on Caleb Yirenkyi.

The law was relaxed at the start of this season to say not all hair pulling should be a red card, after three players were sent off last season.

The idea is that not all contact with the hair should be an offence, and it needs to be an act with excessive force for a player to be sent off.

But of course for a penalty the actions of Tarkowski only need to be a foul, not violent conduct. But if accidental, it should not be a spot-kick.

Did the video assistant referee, Tim Wood, concentrate too much on a possible handball by Tarkowski within the move?

It looked like there was a movement of Tarkowski's arm to pull the hair which should have led to a VAR intervention. Coventry probably should have received a penalty.

Then early in the second half came a possible penalty as Vitalii Mykolenko clipped Taiwo Awoniyi.

The camera positioned level with the edge of the penalty area did seem to show the contact was outside the area, and the VAR cannot intervene to award a free-kick.

It might have been a soft VAR intervention even if the potential foul was inside the box.

Perhaps most controversially was Thierno Barry's second goal, with the ball appearing to touch the striker's arm before it went into the goal.

We have seen this kind of situation a few times this season, most notably when Nottingham Forest had a goal against Tottenham disallowed.

This time, the VAR decided he did not have the necessary conclusive proof to be sure the ball touched the hand.

Yet it does seem like there is a change of direction after Barry's hand touches the ball, and that was the reason it goes into the goal. It looked like handball should have been given on video review, others might argue that ruling it out would have been too forensic.

Three decisions, and Coventry can feel aggrieved about two of them.
