Stat Pack: Baines' Penalty Prowess

When it comes to penalty prowess, no man in Everton’s history can boast of being more prolific than Leighton Baines.

Prior to the recent visit of Watford, the defender had netted 23 spot-kicks in his decade at Goodison Park - the same career total amassed by Trevor Steven and the man who coincidently found himself in the Blues' dugout, David Unsworth.

That Baines would earn Unsworth his first win since taking temporary charge with a thunderous left-footed penalty seemed somewhat apt. It also saw the Kirkby-born 32-year-old snatch the record outright to become Everton's undisputed penalty king.
