Gareth Barry delighted to get goal in Everton win

Gareth Barry was delighted to score in Everton's win at West Brom.

It was back in January 2014 during a home meeting with Norwich City when Barry had last got himself on the scoresheet for the Toffees.

“I'm a very unlikely match-winner because it's been a long time since I scored!" Barry told evertonfc.com.

“It's nearly two-and-a-half years, and that's a long run so I was definitely due one. I actually missed one from about half a yard in training yesterday, so I got that one out of the way.

“It was bugging me a little bit. It's a long time to go without a goal - the longest I've ever gone - but to get a winner, it was worth the wait today."
