EDITORS COMMENTS
Great moment of triumph for Everton's Leighton Baines as he scores the first goal in a hard-fought victory against Swansea City in the Barclays Premier League on March 24, 2012, at Liberty Stadium. In the previous season, Everton had struggled to find consistency and were fighting to secure their place in the top half of the table. This match against Swansea City was a crucial one, with both teams vying for points to boost their respective positions. The atmosphere was electric as the two sides took to the field, with the Everton faithful eagerly anticipating a positive result. The first half of the game saw both teams create chances, but it was Everton who broke the deadlock in the 35th minute. A pinpoint cross from the left flank by Leighton Baines found the head of Fellaini, who nodded the ball down for Baines to volley home from close range. The Everton players and fans erupted in jubilation, with Baines at the heart of the celebration. The second half of the game was a tense affair, with Swansea pushing for an equalizer. Everton's defense held firm, with Baines putting in a man-of-the-match performance at left-back. The final whistle blew, and Everton had secured a valuable three points, lifting them up the table and boosting their confidence for the remainder of the season. This goal not only marked Baines' first of the campaign but also proved to be a turning point in Everton's season, as they went on to finish in the top half of the table. A memorable moment in Everton's history, captured perfectly in this image by Joe Giddens.
