Marco Silva raves about Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford

Everton started their brand new Premier League campaign with a 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was the star performer for the Toffees as he made two crucial saves to earn his side a point on the opening day.

When Morgan Schneiderlin picked up a second yellow for a foul on Luka Milivojevic, Palace felt that there was a window of opportunity for them to pick up all three points.

However, Pickford, who endured a mixed 2018-19 campaign, blocked two efforts from Jordan Ayew and then Max Meyer, and ensured the visitors do not return home empty-handed.
