A moment to forget for Adam Bogdan.
On Wednesday Tim Howard became only the fourth goalkeeper in Premier League history to score a goal (10 points if you can name the other three without Googling). Howard’s thundering clearance bounced over a stunned Adam Bogdan in the Bolton Wanderers goal. The goal made Howard the first goalkeeper in Premier League History to score a goal from inside his own penalty area (the other three were scored from corner kicks in the opponents’ area).
The goal also means Howard is now tied for third on Everton’s scoring charts for this year, which is a rather sad commentary on their offensive power. Indeed, they did go on to lose Wedensday’s game, as Bolton came back to win 2-1.
Next time Everton needs a goal, maybe they should consider dropping the ball back to Tim!
