Was Sunday's goal against Everton the first time Roberto Soldado felt accepted by Tottenham supporters?
Looks like it, as the Spanish striker expressed the immense emotions he felt after scoring the go-ahead goal before halftime.
It got a little dusty at White Hart Lane:
It's been a mighty struggle for Soldado to find the back of the net since arriving at Tottenham in the summer of 2013.
Sunday's goal was his first Premier League tally of the season, following a year in which he registered six in 28 appearances.
The Spaniard has produced some of the most mind-blowing howlers in front of goal, even when the play has been blown dead:
Here are a few more examples that show why scoring on Sunday was so important/rare:
