Micah Richards has compared Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford to former England stopper Joe Hart.
Pickford put in a Man of the Match performance against Chelsea on Sunday in Everton’s 1-0 win and made a string of superb saves to secure a valuable three points. He was his usual vocal and emotive self, bellowing at his defenders and celebrating each save as if it meant everything.
Pickford has often been criticised in the past for his hyperactivity and running on emotion but Richards believes this is a trait that he must not lose and compared him to both Hart and fellow England goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale. Richards was a former teammate of Hart at Manchester City and England.
