Everton manager David Moyes praised his team's "much better" second-half display, as they secured a 1-1 Premier League draw with Leeds at the Hill Dickinson stadium. The match, which saw French forward Thierno Barry equalise to give Everton a share of the spoils, was a much-improved performance from the Toffees compared to their first half.
The visitors' first half was dominated by Leeds, who had the better chances in the opening 45 minutes. However, after the break, Everton's players showed more energy and intent, creating several clear-cut opportunities that were either missed or kept out by the home side's goalkeeper.
Barry levelled the scores with a well-placed finish just before halftime, giving his team a glimmer of hope of claiming a draw. Despite their improved showing in the second half, Everton ultimately fell short, as Leeds created few real scoring chances after the break.
Moyes' post-match praise for his team's performance was well-deserved, given the extent to which they had turned the game around after the interval. As for Leeds, manager Marcelo Bielsa will be disappointed that his side failed to build on their early dominance and secure all three points.
In the end, the match ended in a 1-1 draw, with neither team able to find the winner despite several late chances. For Everton, it was a frustrating result that could have gone either way, while for Leeds, it was a missed opportunity to get back on track after a recent run of form.

. They just couldn't seem to catch a break in the first half and then suddenly they're like "oh, we got this!" 
. Thierno Barry is a beast! He's definitely given his team hope for better results moving forward.
. It's not all doom and gloom for Bielsa, though - he can't be too disappointed with the performance from his squad, especially after a recent run of wins 
.
. Still, I've got faith in Moyes and the team - they're gonna bounce back from this!

leeds just cant seem to build on that early dominance and now their recent run of form is over 
. So Everton's manager is saying their team played WAY better in the second half but still ended up drawing 1-1 with Leeds. Like, if they were that much better why didn't they score? 
It's all so frustrating! And what's with these goalscorers - Thierno Barry just scores a goal right before halftime and it changes everything 
.
, what's going on with Everton?! They're so inconsistent, one minute they're rubbish, the next they're decent, but not good enough 
. Moyes is a top gaffer, he knows how to get his players firing on all cylinders 
, but they just can't seem to put it together for 90 minutes 
, Bielsa's tactics worked like a charm and they should've snatched that win 
. But you can't take points away from Everton, they still get the draw 
. Come on, Toffees, sort it out!

OMG I'm so stoked for the Toffees!! They totally turned the game around in the second half and showed everyone what they're capable of! 
David Moyes must be beyond proud of his team's effort, and honestly, it was a great display to watch! 
Thierno Barry's equalizer was insane!!! 
. And what happened after that? Not much 
. For Everton, it's all about getting more consistency in the first half and taking those chances when they come along 
. And for Leeds... well, they just need to keep working at it until they get that break 
.
