'We were very fortunate that Jordan Pickford made a great save and we stayed in the game': Ian Wright hails England goalkeeper after his fine stop kept them level against Senegal
  • last year
Ian Wright was full of praise for Jordan Pickford after the England goalkeeper made a huge save to keep the score level at 0-0 in Sunday's World Cup last-16 clash with Senegal. A poor pass back towards his own goal from Bukayo Saka was latched onto by Senegal winger Ismaila Sarr, who cut inside across the edge of the box before finding Boulaye Dia. Dia had a great sight of goal on the left hand side of the box and struck it sweetly before seeing his effort denied by a strong outstretched hand from Everton's Pickford.
