Pickford In Action As England Edged By Spain

Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford won his 11th England cap as the Three Lions were edged out 2-1 by Spain in their Nations League opener at Wembley.

The 24-year-old stopper produced a typically confident, assured performance in his first international game following his World Cup heroics but - after Marcus Rashford put England ahead - goals from Saul Niguez and Thiago Alcantara saw Luis Enrique’s team run out winners in the Group A4 clash.

Gareth Southgate's men went in front after 11 minutes, Manchester United striker Rashford sweeping home after an excellent ball from club teammate Luke Shaw.
