Thierno Barry has matched his goal tally from last season in far fewer games, according to a report from BBC News. The outlet said Barry scored eight goals in 41 appearances last season. This season, it took him just 12 games to reach the same total of eight.

BBC News framed the report around a change in Barry's fortunes, describing his path from a "nightmare debut season" to a role as an Everton hero. The headline ties that shift to his revival, but the summary offers no further explanation for what changed.

The summary states the two figures in different terms, appearances for last season and games for this season, and does not reconcile them.

According to the same summary, the report gives no detail on the goals themselves, including the matches in which they came. It also includes no comment from Barry, Everton, or other figures connected to the club.

The full BBC News article was not part of the material reviewed for this story, so the summary is the sole basis for the figures and framing reported here. No other outlet's account of the matter was available in that material, so no conflicting reports can be compared.

Readers who want the complete account of Barry's season will need the original BBC News report, which is linked above.
