Everton: Fan's Eye View of Nikica Jelavic's Goal Against Manchester City

Ian RodgersJun 8, 2018

Everton striker Nikica Jelavic's first Premier League goal in three months on Saturday brought a treble dose of joy, although Manchester City fans may disagree.

Firstly, Everton supporters, who had watched their team capitulate so badly in the FA Cup quarterfinal against Wigan Athletic seven days earlier, had their faith restored in the team with the 2-0 win over Manchester City.

England international Leon Osman had opened the scoring with a long-range effort in the 32nd minute as the Merseyside club shrugged off the disappointment of their cup defeat at Goodison Park.

In the final moments of the game, Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini ran at the City defence before releasing Jelavic on the edge of the area.

The Croatia international took the ball around City full-back Gael Clichy and, with the help of a deflection from the Frenchman's leg, claimed the Blues' second goal to seal the points.

Secondly, Jelavic was finally able to celebrate a Premier League goal for the first time since scoring in the win over Tottenham on Dec. 9.

The former Rangers striker had only scored once since then, in the FA Cup third-round win at Cheltenham in January.

The relief for Jelavic was matched by the delight among the crowd, especially in the Gwladys Street end of Goodison Park where this video was filmed.

Finally, however, the advantage of having a smartphone at the match means we here at Bleacher Report have had the idea of a new feature called Fan's Eye.

The new angle provided by the video here gives a new angle on the goal with Fellaini and Jelavic bearing down on Joe Hart's goal from the halfway line.

Be warned, however, that as Jelavic shapes to strike the ball, one fan enthuses the striker with language some people may find offensive.
