Everton midfielder Barry: Baines genuine world class

Everton midfielder Gareth Barry has declared Leighton Baines as "world class".

Baines struck twice in victory at West Ham United on Saturday.

On-loan Manchester City midfielder Barry said: "I've seen from training with him at England and playing against him that Bainesy is a class act.

"You can put him in the world class bracket when he's doing things like that. Two free-kicks in exactly the same spot in different sides of the goal - there's not too many players in the world who can do that."
