Everton call out former England star with furious post after he claimed Jordan Pickford should join a 'bigger club' on commentary duty

A former England international has been blasted by Everton's official social media account after claiming that Jordan Pickford should join a 'bigger club' during England's 5-0 win over Latvia on Tuesday.

Ex-Arsenal and England star Lee Dixon, who joined Sam Matterface on commentary duty during ITV's live broadcast of the World Cup qualifier, questioned why Pickford has not moved to a 'bigger club' during the match, just days after the goalkeeper signed a new long-term deal with the Toffees.

Pickford last week eclipsed Sir Gordon Banks by setting a new record for consecutive clean sheets for his country — and Tuesday's 5-0 win over Latvia now means he has not conceded a goal for the Three Lions in over a year.
