EDITORS COMMENTS
In this electrifying moment captured at Emirates Stadium on December 16, 2006, Togolese international Emmanuel Adebayor etched his name into Arsenal folklore by scoring the Gunners' first-ever goal at their new home against Portsmouth. With the score tied at 2-2 in the FA Premiership clash, the tension was palpable as Adebayor received the ball just inside the penalty area. In a flash, he maneuvered past Portsmouth's defense and unleashed a powerful shot that left goalkeeper David James rooted to the spot. The net bulged, and the Emirates erupted in jubilation as Arsenal fans celebrated their team's historic first goal at their state-of-the-art stadium. Adebayor's strike came during his debut season with the North London club, having joined from Monaco in the summer of 2006. The goal was a pivotal moment in Arsenal's campaign, as they went on to secure a 3-3 draw against Portsmouth, maintaining their position at the top of the league table. This iconic photograph, captured by Arsenal Football Club's official photographer David Price, immortalizes the moment when Emmanuel Adebayor stunned Portsmouth and Arsenal fans alike with his breathtaking goal.
