Pickford is England’s number one at the World Cup after Joe Hart lost his place in the squad.

The Everton goalkeeper conceded three goals in the group stages but some pundits adjudged him to be at fault for Belgium’s goal, scored by Adnan Januzaj.

Gary Neville said: “The goalkeeping’s a bit strange. It’s just all a bit strange to be honest with you.

“His feet are up in the air. His feet are off the ground when he’s jumping. He goes with his wrong hand. It’s just a bit weird, the whole dive thing after.”
