Great moment in Birmingham City FC history captured in this stunning photograph by Mike Egerton: Nikola Zigic's historic goal in the Carling Cup Final against Arsenal at Wembley Stadium. The year was 2011, and the stakes were high as the two teams faced off in the showpiece event of the Carling Cup competition. Birmingham City, the underdogs of the match, were determined to make their mark against the formidable Arsenal squad. As the game kicked off, the tension in the air was palpable. The crowd at Wembley Stadium roared with anticipation, knowing that this could be the moment that would go down in Birmingham City folklore. And then, in the 18th minute, it happened. A beautiful build-up of passes from the Blues midfield found Nikola Zigic in the box, and with a cool and composed finish, he slotted the ball past the Arsenal goalkeeper, sending the Birmingham City fans into raptures. The goal was a turning point in the game, giving Birmingham City the confidence they needed to push forward and ultimately secure a historic victory. The team went on to win the Carling Cup that day, with Zigic's goal being the catalyst for their success. This photograph captures the excitement and emotion of that moment, with Zigic celebrating his goal in front of the jubilant Birmingham City supporters. It's a moment that will be remembered for generations to come, and a testament to the power of football to bring people together in moments of joy and triumph.
