Great moment in Everton Football Club history captured in this stunning photograph by John Walton. The image showcases Darron Gibson's elated expression as he celebrates scoring the first goal against Manchester City in the Barclays Premier League on 31 January 2012. The game, played at Goodison Park, was a highly anticipated clash between two top-tier English football clubs. The goal came in the 23rd minute, and it was a beauty. Gibson received the ball just outside the Manchester City penalty area, took a few touches to settle, and then unleashed a powerful right-footed shot that sailed into the top corner of the net, leaving Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart with no chance. The crowd erupted in cheers, and Gibson was mobbed by his teammates in a scene of pure jubilation. This goal was significant for a number of reasons. It was Everton's first goal of the game, and it gave them a crucial lead over their rivals. It was also Gibson's first goal in the Premier League for Everton, having joined the club from Manchester United in the summer of 2010. The Irish midfielder went on to score just three more goals for the Toffees before leaving for Stoke City in 2014. This photograph is a reminder of a memorable moment in Everton's history, and it encapsulates the passion, excitement, and drama of the beautiful game. It's a moment that Everton fans will never forget, and it's a testament to the skill and determination of Darron Gibson.
