England manager Gareth Southgate has sent a message to Jordan Pickford's critics after he was a standout performer in his side's 2-1 victory over Switzerland on Saturday evening.
The visitors opened the scoring early at Wembley, but goals from Luke Shaw and Harry Kane secured the win for the Three Lions. Pickford, though, made a crucial save at 1-0 to keep them in the game.
The 28-year-old has come under intense scrutiny in recent weeks, in line with Everton's poor form, and former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock shared his views on Sky Sports earlier this week, saying: “I wouldn’t want to play in front of Jordan Pickford because I’d just be thinking: ‘Please be quiet. The way you’re acting.’ The way he goes about things, he’d drive me insane. There’s a way of doing it. He saves a shot and has a go at people for letting a shot come in at goal. You’re a goalkeeper. Do your job. Save the ball.
