Last night saw 55 years of waiting finally come to an end, with England progressing to the Euro 2020 final.
The Three Lions have failed to make the final of a major tournament since the 1966 World Cup.
Despite this, Gareth Southgate’s squad defied the odds, beating Denmark 2-1 at Wembley after extra time.
This feat didn’t come without the incredible efforts of Toffees No.1 Jordan Pickford throughout the tournament.
Last night saw Pickford concede his first goal of the tournament thanks to an incredible free-kick from Mikkel Damsgaard.
However, that didn’t stop Pickford from smashing the clean sheet record for England, with 5 in a row…
The Washington-born shot-stopper went 725 minutes throughout the tournament without conceding a goal.
It was an incredible feat from the 27-year-old, who gave some fine performances along the way to the final.
His saves against Germany are no doubt the highlight of his tournament, keeping Kai Havertz and Timo Werner at bay.
Pickford now becomes the first Everton player to make the Euros finals with England, as well as the first goalkeeper.
This summer has proven just how talented a player Pickford is despite a tough period last season at the Blues.
Last night’s game saw plenty of pressure on his and his teammate’s shoulders.
Despite a few hiccups along the way, he and the rest of the squad got the job done in a spectacular fashion.
Hopefully, Pickford will become the first-ever Everton player to lift the European Championship with the Three Lions.
