Thierno Barry’s superb clipped finish just before the hour mark proved decisive at Villa Park, ending Villa’s 11-game Premier League winning run. 

"I've got to say, I came here a bit worried about what we had available to us, probably more to do with what we were missing and how we'd go about it, but we've worked all week," Moyes told Everton TV.

"We're really sore from the last week, and I've been struggling to show my face because I want us to be doing well and I felt like we hadn't done that well after going out of the Cup.”
