Everton manager Dyche: Pickford defied doubters

Everton manager Sean Dyche has lavished praise on his shot stopper Jordan Pickford.

The England international was a hero for the Toffees in a recent draw against Sheffield United.

His late save in the game ensured the Goodison Park club avoided another Premier League defeat this season.

Post-game, Dyche said: “I think like everyone he had some question marks recently because the team were conceding big moments but I think it shows again what a top keeper he is.

“I thought his all round performance was very good. He was very unlucky with their second [which struck the post then went in via his back] quite obviously.

“And he makes two fantastic saves at the end when it is really important to do so."
