Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford made his 100th successive Premier League appearance in the 1-1 draw with Arsenal at Goodison Park on Saturday. He has achieved this feat for the second time and is the only player in the history of the club to do so twice reported Everton statistician Gavin Buckland.

The last time he achieved this milestone was when he recorded 120 consecutive league appearances between 2017 and 2020.

England’s number one has been a force at the back for the Blues and also made an incredible save off Leandro Trossard against Arsenal - albeit the move was ruled offside. Despite the club’s struggles at the bottom half of the table in recent seasons, Pickford has been a loyal servant and has produced several decisive performances.

It was under David Moyes at Sunderland that the 31-year-old first found his footing in the top-flight after half a dozen loan spells at various clubs. Although the club was relegated at the end of the 2016/17 season, it was his form that season that saw him move to Goodison Park where he has been a mainstay ever since.

Now reunited with his former manager once again, Everton have moved 15 points clear of the drop zone following the weekend's draw with Arsenal. Pickford will hope to produce the same consistency guarding the goal as the club moves to a brand new state-of-the-art stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock next season.

I would not swap him for any other Premier League goalkeeper. He has remained loyal to Everton when being England's No 1; he could have moved on, he didn't and I don't think he will either.

Jordan sometimes puts your heart in your mouth and has the odd moment of madness, but don't all goalkeepers? They're all a bit crazy to play in that position.

Congratulations Jordan.

He has detractors on TW but I am a fan. England's best goalie and I have only seen Big Nev who was better.

With another keeper, I think we would be in the Championship now.

His kicking drives me insane.

I'm struggling to think of a better save than the save against Arsenal that never was.

It's right up there isn't it? Just ridiculously brilliant.

I don't think Pickford gets the credit he deserves, often criticised here on ToffeeWeb.

He's England No 1 and one of the reasons we're still in the Premier League.

His save against Arsenal at the weekend would probably have been save of the season, but play was called back for a foul on Branthwaite, and so it didn't count.

Credit to Pickford for showing loyalty to Everton where he loves the club and loves playing for the club.

He has some amazing saves through the years that have contributed to Everton remaining in the top flight and okay his kicking can be erratic, but I think that he can forgiven for that as he has more than made up for it.

I hope he stays with Everton for many years to come.

I love characters like Jordan. He's part of what makes me keep watching. Outfield players like Ndiaye too. We've had plenty of them down the years. I love them in other sports too. Alex Higgins in snooker, Muhammed Alisha in boxing, Freddie Mercury, Billy Connolly. Masters of their art with a touch of nutter thrown in. Any I've missed?
