Great moment in Everton FC history captured in this stunning photograph by acclaimed sports photographer Peter Byrne: Nikica Jelavic's thrilling strike against Tottenham Hotspur at Goodison Park during the Barclays Premier League season 2011-12, on 10 March 2012. The Croatian international, who had only joined the Toffees in January of that year, had already endeared himself to the Everton faithful with his hard work and determination up front. But it was this goal that truly announced his arrival at Goodison Park and ignited the team's charge towards a European place. With the scoreline delicately poised at 1-1, Jelavic received a perfectly weighted pass from Leighton Baines, just inside the penalty area. The striker took a touch to settle the ball before unleashing a powerful, unerring finish into the bottom corner of the net, leaving Tottenham goalkeeper Brad Friedel with no chance. The crowd erupted in jubilation as Jelavic wheeled away in celebration, his teammates rushing to congratulate him on a goal that would prove to be a turning point in Everton's season. The victory lifted the team into fifth place in the league table, and they went on to secure a Europa League spot with a thrilling finish to the campaign. This iconic image captures the raw emotion and excitement of football, as well as the pivotal role Jelavic played in Everton's memorable season. It is a testament to Peter Byrne's skill as a photographer, and a cherished memory for Everton fans.
