Jordan Pickford urged to use Joe Hart as example and establish himself in the Premier League with Sunderland

Jordan Pickford has been told to take a look at England goalkeeper Joe Hart as he attempts to establish himself as a Premier League player.

The 22-year-old Sunderland starlet has endured a testing start to the season after being drafted in for the injured Vito Mannone with new boss David Moyes trying to mould a team in front of him.

Pickford's late slip at Southampton before the international break saw the Saints snatch a point, although he turned in a good individual display against Everton on Monday night only to be let down by his defenders as Romelu Lukaku plundered an 11-minute second-half hat-trick.
