As England secured a convincing 3-0 victory against Wales in a friendly match, Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford reached another historic milestone. The 31-year-old goalkeeper kept his clean sheet in eight consecutive games, becoming the first goalkeeper in England's history to achieve such a result.
Pickford's "dry" streak hasn't been broken for a year: he last played for the national team on October 10, 2024, in a 1-2 draw against Greece. Since then, in every call it has been distinguished by confidence, steadfastness, and level of preparedness, giving peace to the defensive line.
This record shows that not only Jordan's reaction and positional choice, but also his accurate passes at the start of the game and his leadership qualities in the penalty area were ensured. His high chances were added to the stability of England's defense, and the forwards were able to move freely.
As is known, Pickford reached the Euro final twice with England, and saw the semi-final stage at the 2018 World Cup. Now, his record-breaking "zero" streak remains another bright page in his national team legacy.
In short, a big victory over Wales is a result, Pickford's "locked-in" game is confidence. Maintaining this spirit and stability in the coming trials remains the most important task.
