Rio Ferdinand hails Jordan Pickford's performance against Germany and says the Everton goalkeeper looks more confident playing for England... while Jermaine Jenas praises the shot-stopper's leadership

Rio Ferdinand believes Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is more confident in an England shirt and hailed his performance in the Three Lions' victory over Germany.

Pickford is the only goalkeeper in the tournament who has not conceded a goal, with England keeping clean sheets in each of their three group games before their last 16 triumph.

While the shot-stopper had relatively little to do in the group stages, he was called up on in both halves against Germany.
