England goalkeepers past hail current number one, Everton’s Jordan Pickford.
Everton star Jordan Pickford became England’s penalty shootout hero as he helped the Three Lions to a dramatic win over Colombia.
The goalkeeper saved a crucial spot kick to put Eric Dier in position to score the winning penalty and book England’s place in the quarter finals.
His efforts were praised by three former England goalkeepers, Peter Shilton, Ray Clemence and David Seaman.
Each of the trio hailed Pickford’s career defining moment.
After coming through one shootout, Pickford’s confidence will be high for the next one if England are put in the same position again.
Gareth Southgate’s side face Sweden in the quarter finals on Saturday night and this time they will be hoping to get the job done in the full 90 minutes, and Pickford will want to notch his first clean sheet of the World Cup.
