England during Euro 2020 set several records, where it stands out that has not conceded a goal in 5 consecutive games. Jordan Pickford is one step away from making history in this European Championship.
The Everton goalkeeper for five consecutive games kept his net intact, which coincides with the achievement of Iker Casillas in “Euro 2012”, where Spain emerged victorious.
If the English goalkeeper keeps his net clean even against Denmark on Wednesday, he will become the first goalkeeper to record six consecutive games without conceding a goal in the 61-year history of the competition.
The 27-year-old has been very confident in this European, making spectacular receptions. It is worth remembering his performance against Germany, when he made a really saving reception.
This new record for Pickford is the second of the summer, as he became the first England goalkeeper to keep his net untouched for three consecutive games in the group stage of a major international tournament since Gordon Banks in 1966. The same year, England won the World Cup.
There is no doubt that England’s defensive strength is essential to the team led by Gareth Southgate. However, it has been shown that the “Three Lions” do not find it difficult to score.
Four goals against Ukraine, three from Harry Kane in the last two games, reconfirm the fact that England is quite productive. It is already one step away from the final, with Pickford as the protagonist.
