Jordan Pickford's unsung heroics spotted which turned tide for England against Senegal

Whether you spilled your pint, your dinner or your coffee celebrating England’s goals against Senegal - don’t forget Jordan Pickford.

The Everton goalkeeper stuck out an arm with half an hour gone to pull off the save that changed the course of this match. It kept out a diagonal shot across him from the in-form Salernitana striker Boulaye Dia, who’d stolen into space in the box.

Pickford’s save eased nerves in Boxparks, boozers and living rooms up and down the land, with Senegal’s first-half confidence threatening to earn them the opening goal. The African champions haven’t been struggling for them, despite being written off pre-tournament as Sadio Mane failed to recover from a knee injury in time.
