England U21 coach Gareth Southgate is impressed by young Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

Pickford is currently on-loan at Preston North End.

After victory over Norway, Southgate said: “I thought Norway were very good.

“They used the ball very well in midfield and we didn't always come to terms with that, and they tested our goalkeeper quite a bit but he stood up to that challenge, which was pleasing.

“For a lot of the boys it's their first qualifier, so they'll get a better understanding of international football and controlling games."
