Heitinga's Heroics: Everton's Upset Over Chelsea in Carling Cup Round 4 (26 October 2011) by Nigel French In the thrilling Carling Cup Round 4 match between Everton and Chelsea on October 26, 2011, Johnny Heitinga etched his name into Everton folklore with a heroic performance that helped the Toffees secure a memorable upset over their more illustrious opponents. The stage was set at Goodison Park as the two teams locked horns in the Carling Cup, with Chelsea looking to continue their impressive form in the competition. Everton, on the other hand, were determined to cause an upset and progress to the next round. The game was evenly poised until the 63rd minute when Heitinga produced a moment of magic. With Chelsea pressing forward, the Dutch international intercepted a wayward pass and surged forward, leaving defenders in his wake. He unleashed a powerful shot from the edge of the box that flew past the hapless Chelsea goalkeeper and into the back of the net, putting Everton in the lead. The goal sent the Goodison Park faithful into raptures, and Heitinga's teammates piled on the pressure, with Leon Osman adding a second goal in the 73rd minute to seal the victory. The win was a significant one for Everton, who had not beaten Chelsea in any competition since 2009. It was a testament to the team's resilience and determination, and a moment that will be fondly remembered by Evertonians for years to come. Nigel French's photograph captures the essence of the moment, with Heitinga's jubilant celebration etched on his face as he wheels away in delight, the crowd behind him in full voice, and the Chelsea players looking on in disbelief. It is a snapshot of a memorable night in Everton's history, and a reminder of the power of underdogs to defy the odds and leave a lasting impact on the game.
