OPINION
Jordan Pickford has come in for his fair share of criticism this season following a series of less than convincing performances, but he put in the kind of display against Southampton on Saturday that will have reminded people just why he is England’s number one. In the first half against the Saints he was commanding and agile, pulling off two wonderful saves to keep a lacklustre Toffees side in contention. At his best, Pickford is one of the best shot stoppers in the league, and he has the potential to be a world class player. At the moment, he is still susceptible to the odd mistake here and there, but he has player the best part of his career in sides that are used to getting peppered with shots, and the law of averages suggest that he can’t stop everything thrown at him. If he can cut those needless errors out, he could become a legend at Goodison Park.

Pickford's had his issues this season but every once in awhile he comes up with something like THAT which reminds you why he's the best English goalkeeper
