Everton keeper Pickford delighted to help England to victory

Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was delighted to help England to victory over Bulgaria.

A smart save during the second-period allowed the Three Lions to hit Bulgaria on the break and win a penalty, of which Harry Kane duly bagged his second of the evening.

“It is brilliant coming away when we've been doing well for Everton," Pickford told the club's official website.

“Everything for me starts with Everton and doing everything well for my club.

“The rest takes care of itself.

“Then with England, the competition is great and it is a group of top-quality lads and players.

“I closed the angle off well and trusted myself to make the save [from Wanderson].

“It was a decent save – but a training ground save, one you should make.

“But it kept us at 1-0 then we went up the other end and scored straight away."
