The image, taken by renowned sports photographer Mike Egerton, encapsulates the intense emotion and high stakes of the penalty shootout. The Worthington Cup final was a highly anticipated match between two storied English football clubs.

With a powerful strike, he sent the ball soaring into the net, sending his teammates and fans into a frenzy. The photograph shows Purse in the midst of his celebration, a broad smile spreading across his face as he raises his arms in triumph. The jubilant expressions of his teammates and the sea of blue and white scarves in the background add to the sense of excitement and joy in the moment.
