Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has hailed England's support for their run to the World Cup semifinals.

Pickford was named Man of the Match after a series of stunning saves ensured the Three Lions cruised to a 2-0 win over Sweden and a first World Cup semi-final in 28 years.

"We knew it was going to be difficult and what they [Sweden] bring to the party, and we managed it very well," he said on BBC One.

"It just showed how our ability is coming out and also the mental part of our game.

"England fans are a different class. When the fans are like that, it makes us even better and so much more relaxed."
