From zero to hero! Jordan Pickford rescued a point for Everton
From zero to hero! Jordan Pickford rescued a point for Everton with an incredible 98th-minute hat-trick after his comical own goal had put Sheffield United ahead.
* Jordan Pickford made an incredible triple save to save Everton from defeat * Incredible stoppage time held the Toffees to a 2-2 draw against Sheffield United * Pickford scored an own goal earlier when Archer’s shot bounced off him Jordan Pickford was the hero for Everton as his injury-time hat-trick of saves prevented Sean Dyche’s men from suffering a fourth successive defeat against Sheffield United.
With just seconds left and the score tied at 2-2, the Blades swung in a corner which was answered by Oli McBurnie. But Pickford made a brilliant save from a powerful save from the forward, who then saved both McBurnie’s subsequent attempts and shuffled the ball away from the onrushing Sheffield United players to make a third incredible save. The England number one responded to the moment by giving Blades fans a deadpan face, asking if he was holding the ball.
The moment was the perfect response to his comical own goal earlier in the game when Cameron Archer’s shot flew off the post and then bounced off the back of Pickford into the net to give the home side the lead.
