David James has praised Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford on Twitter for his saves against Chelsea at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The former Liverpool goalkeeper was impressed by the saves that Pickford made during Everton’s 1-0 win against Chelsea at home this afternoon.

Brazilian forward Richarlison scored the only goal of the match, but it was Pickford who stole the show with his saves between the posts.

Big result

In our opinion, the win for Everton against Chelsea is a big result for Frank Lampard’s side.

It keeps the Toffees very much in the race to avoid the dreaded drop to the Championship at the end of the season.

Everton are still in the bottom three, but they are now two points behind Burnley and Leeds United.

And they have a game in hand.

Things are still looking bleak for Everton, but now they have given themselves a fighting chance of staying in the Premier League.

The Goodison Park faithful will be buoyed by the win against Chelsea today, and the players will now have renewed belief in themselves.
