Which Everton goalkeeper scored a Premier League goal in January 2012?

Which Everton goalkeeper scored a Premier League goal in January 2012? Tim Howard did, against Bolton Wanderers on 4 January 2012.

The goal came from an extraordinary clearance at Goodison Park. Howard struck the ball from inside his own penalty area, and strong wind helped it bounce over Bolton goalkeeper Adam Bogdan before finding the net. It was officially recorded as Howard’s goal, not an own goal.

The strike briefly put Everton ahead, but the match ended in a 2–1 defeat after Bolton scored twice. Howard’s goal was the first of his professional career and made him one of only a small number of Premier League goalkeepers to score.

A common mix-up is the month: the match took place on 4 January 2012, not later in the 2011–12 season. Another goalkeeper often mentioned in similar trivia is Asmir Begović, who later scored from his own half for Stoke City in 2013.
