Pickford And England Off To Winning World Cup Start
Everything you need to know about the new bossJordan Pickford became the youngest goalkeeper to play for England at a World Cup finals as the Three Lions struck a stoppage time winner to beat Tunisia 2-1 in Volgograd.
The Everton stopper produced a composed, assured performance in the Three Lions’ Group G opener as Harry Kane’s brace ensured Gareth Southgate’s men got off to a winning start.
After an energetic start, England deservedly went ahead on 12 minutes - former Everton defender John Stones’ thumping header from Ashley Young’s cross was brilliantly saved by Tunisia goalkeeper Mouez Hassen, but Kane was on hand to fire in the rebound.
