A BRILLIANT 84th-minute free-kick by England midfielder Ross Barkley gave Everton a 2-1 win at Swansea City in the English Premier League on Sunday and propel his side into the Champions League places.
Everton right-back Seamus Coleman broke the deadlock in the 66th minute with a swerving 30-yard shot, but Swansea equalized four minutes later when Dwight Tiendalli’s volley deflected in off Bryan Oviedo.
