Just after netting a goal in Everton’s 3-1 League Cup triumph over Newcastle, Thierno Barry returned to a nightmare: his home had been broken into. Who could have imagined such a night?
The trip back from Hill Dickinson Stadium was far from pleasant. While the match saw the 24‑year‑old striker score and his side advance, he learned of the theft after the final whistle.
Hours later, his partner shared an Instagram story announcing the burglary. She wrote that the house was hit while they watched the game, adding that no one was inside but the ordeal felt like a harsh invasion for their family.

In my view, this intrusion underscores how vulnerable players can be off the pitch. She urged anyone with clues to come forward and even offered a cash reward for information leading to the culprits.
Just two weeks earlier, Barry gave YouTuber “Just Riadh” a tour of his two‑storey residence, showcasing cars, a pool and luxury items. Recent weeks have seen similar break‑ins targeting Premier League stars such as Morgan Gibbs‑White and Bruno Fernandes.
