A Jordon Pickford wonder save for Everton against Chelsea has been described as the best since Gordon Banks against Pele, by Garth Crooks.
Everton secured a vital three points at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon with a 1-0 victory thanks to a second-half goal from Richarlison. But the Blues had to call upon Pickford to preserve the win, after he made two sensational stops that prevented Thomas Tuchel's side from equalising.
Pickford's heroics were enough to see him included in Crooks' BBC Premier League team of the week, but the praise for the England goalkeeper didn't stop there. The pundit said: "Pickford kept a clean sheet but I don't know how he did it. The Everton keeper made two of the most remarkable saves to clinch a vital victory for the Toffees. He was forced to sprint across his goal line before diving to make the most miraculous double-handed save I've seen since Gordon Banks saved Pele's header in the 1970 World Cup.
