Everton striker Thierno Barry has set his sights on a breakthrough campaign after netting his first hat-trick for the club in Wednesday's 4-0 Carabao Cup demolition of Preston North End. The forward struck three times at Deepdale to steer David Moyes' side into the third round, following up on his Premier League goal at the weekend.
Tottenham Hotspur secured a dominant 5-1 victory over Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, bouncing back from their opening Premier League defeat. New signing Savio made an immediate impact, scoring on his debut. Meanwhile, Everton and Newcastle United also navigated their second-round ties successfully to join Roberto De Zerbi's side in the third-round draw.
Everton manager David Moyes has furiously fired back at a reporter during a press conference, labelling a specific question about his desire to win domestic cup competitions this season as "dead stupid". The frustrated boss used the tense exchange to emphasise that while securing a long-awaited trophy is important, Premier League survival remains the ultimate priority.
Everton have submitted a proposal to Liverpool Council to double the number of non-sporting events held at Hill Dickinson Stadium. The Toffees hope to transform their new waterfront home into a major multi-use venue, capitalising on the city's rich musical heritage and boosting local tourism.
