Howard Refuses to get Blown Away!!

Everton's recent goalscoring sensation Tim Howard has revealed the reasons why he declined to celebrate following his freak goal against Bolton Wanderers last night. 
The United States international scored an incredible goal following a clearance from a pass back inside his own area bouncing over opposition goalkeeper Adam Bogdan. 
But Howard refused to celebrate out of consideration for Bogdan at the other end of the field. 
"It's not a nice place to be," Howard said. "I've been there before - a long, long time ago - and that was why I didn't celebrate."
"I was delighted that we were in the lead and would hopefully go on to get three points, but it's not a nice feeling for a keeper, it's really awful actually,"

Despite his freak goal, and a superlative performance. Howard was unable to prevent Everton succumbing to a 2-1 loss against The Trotters.
