Jordan Pickford was the toast of England fans this weekend, as his save from Manuel Akanji proved to be vital in the Three Lions’ penalty shootout victory over Switzerland in their Euro 2024 quarter-final.
Pickford - aided by a trusty water bottle crib sheet - denied the Manchester City defender in the first spot-kick of the shootout before all five England players hit the back of the net to secure a semi-final date against the Netherlands on Wednesday evening.
