Pickford makes vital saves as England win in Greece

Greece 0 – 3 England

Jordan Pickford plays in goal tonight for England in their must-win game against Greece in Athens, the prize being 1st place in and promotion from Group B2 of the Nations League.

It’s the penultimate game in charge for former Everton midfielder, Lee Carsley, whose selection has been challenged by nine players withdrawing from the quad through injury.

Ollie Watkins, leading the line in place of Harry Kane, had an easy finish after just 6 minutes when Madueke made it to the byeline and cut a nice ball back to him. 

Three brilliant saves by Jordan Pickford kept England in it but the Three Lions couldn’t fashion another goal until Kane came on with 25 minutes left.
