Everton coach Marco Silva reckons Jordan Pickford's reputation did a lot to psych Luka Milivojevic out as he stepped up to take a penalty against the English keeper on Sunday.
Pickford made an incredible save off of Milivojevic's spot-kick in the second half to keep the scores level at 0-0. And the Merseyside Blues would leave it late as Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Cenk Tosun scored in the 87th and 89th minutes respectively to hand the Toffees a 2-0 home win over the Eagles.
The penalty save was Pickford's sixth in just over a year. And Silva seems to believe that the record, coupled with the player's heroics in the World Cup, particularly against Colombia, is daunting for opponents.
