In the early hours of July 7th, England advanced to the semi-finals of the European Championship by winning a penalty shootout against Switzerland.
During the shootout, Pickford brilliantly saved the first penalty taken by Akanji, securing England’s progression. With this save, Pickford has now stopped four out of 14 penalties in major tournament shootouts for England, which is double the number saved by English goalkeepers between 1990 and 2012 (two out of 36).
On the morning of July 11th at 3 am, England will face the Netherlands in the semi-final clash.
