'My save will mean nothing if we don't escape the drop!' Jordan Pickford opens up on that save from Cesar Azpilicueta, the stress of relegation battle at Everton and the scrutiny of being England's No 1

Jordan Pickford has not usually been able to enjoy the best saves of his career. Stopping two penalties in the Euro 2020 final shoot-out against Italy last summer would have turned him into a national hero had England not missed three.

A gravity-defying leap against Colombia at the World Cup lost its afterglow when the South Americans scored from the resulting corner.

Now the England No1 is being lauded for an astonishing save in last Sunday’s 1-0 win against Chelsea, initially diving to his right as Mason Mount’s shot hit both posts and then changing direction twice at full speed to keep out Cesar Azpilicueta’s follow-up.
