5. Leighton Baines vs Tottenham

Coming into the game against, Baines wasn’t in the best of form and although he still managed to do his defensive duty diligently, there were those who questioned his offensive prowess. He silenced his critics once and for all, with an absolutely stunning free kick against Spurs at White Hart Lane which gave Everton an invaluable point.

The free kick, was typical Leighton Baines, slightly outside the box, fairly central, Baines whipped the ball in the top right hand corner and gave the keeper no chance. The technique involved in lifting the ball up and over the wall whilst also giving it the desired spin was something that Baines achieved expertly with this finish.
