Michael Owen has hailed England’s goalkeepers and said Everton stopper Jordan Pickford is ‘very reliable’ for his country.
Owen was speaking after England’s 0-0 draw with Italy at Molineux where Aaron Ramsdale won just his second cap. In an otherwise uneventful affair, the Arsenal goalkeeper was solid and made a fantastic save with his feet from Sandro Tonali. It was a rare game off for Pickford, who has won 45 caps for England since his debut in 2017.
In that time, despite often receiving criticism, he has kept 21 clean sheets and conceded just 34 goals. The Everton No.1 was crucial in England’s run to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals and the delayed European Championship final last summer.
