ABSOLUTELY DINK REDIBLE

Everton's new cult hero Barry reckons his Villa Park stunner is the best goal he has ever scored

- BY JOE THOMAS

THIERNO BARRY ranks his audacious chip against Aston Villa earlier this month as the best goal he has ever scored.

That should come as no surprise - it had every thing. It was an instinctive, inch-perfect chip over a World Cup-winning goal keeper that inspired a desperate goal-line scramble from Ezri Konsa.

It gave Everton victory and just reward for a battling, hard fought display at a Premier League title challenger.

It came under the lights of one of English football's iconic stadiums, just as the nation tuned in for Sky Sports' week end showcase event.

It was also Barry's first true match winner for his new club, where he had struggled for six months before hitting a rich vein of form.

"It was clearly a very good goal," the 23-year-old said. "I think it's the best goal of my little career and I hope to score a goal like this again."

After the match, Barry joined his teammates as they cele brated with a jubilant away end.

As he stood in his tracksuit, taking it all in, those supporters burst into a rendition of the song they have dedicated to him.

It was a full-circle moment for Barry. Two months earlier the Everton fanbase had lifted him from his knees as his goal drought continued.
