"December Drama: Leighton Baines Scores the Penalty Winner for Everton at Sunderland's Stadium of Light (Barclays Premier League, 2011) In the thrilling world of professional football, moments of high drama are a common occurrence. But some stand out above the rest, etching themselves into the annals of history. Such a moment came on the 26th of December, 2011, in the Barclays Premier League fixture between Sunderland and Everton. With the clock ticking down at Stadium of Light, the score was deadlocked at 1-1. The tension was palpable as both teams pushed for a winner. The crowd roared as Everton were awarded a late penalty, their hopes of victory hanging in the balance. Up stepped Leighton Baines, the Toffees' reliable left-back, to take the spot-kick. Baines, known for his accurate and powerful strikes from dead-ball situations, took a deep breath and focused. The Sunderland goalkeeper, poised and ready, dived to his left. Baines, with an unwavering determination, placed the ball to the goalkeeper's right. The crowd held its breath as the ball soared through the air, arcing towards the goal. The ball hit the back of the net, sending the Everton fans into raptures. Baines, still in motion, wheeled away in celebration, his teammates rushing to congratulate him. The relief and elation were evident on their faces, as they knew that this goal could be the difference between three valuable points and a disappointing draw. This dramatic moment encapsulates the unpredictability and excitement of football. It serves as a reminder that in the world of sport, anything can happen, and that sometimes, the most unexpected heroes rise to the occasion." Owen Humphreys' photograph captures this electrifying moment in Everton's history, immortalizing Leighton Baines' penalty winner against Sunderland in the 2011-12 Barclays Premier League season.
