Every match I’m consistently reminded how grateful I am that he’s our keeper and that he loves playing for Everton.

Everton 2-1 Crystal Palace VERDICT: How Toffees can go to new heights

NATHAN SALT AT THE HILL DICKINSON STADIUM: For 45 minutes this was looking like one of the easiest games of football Crystal Palace would play all season and yet they are human.

Given Jordan Pickford is England No 1 it seems a bit fanciful to think he's underrated.

But here he was making his 300th Premier League appearance and making top quality crucial saves to keep Everton in a game they were only really in from once the second half began.

Pickford made two quick fire saves in the opening two minutes and was doing his level best to keep a disjointed Everton close enough in the game to stage a comeback, even when Munoz broke the deadlock.

Without Pickford's heroics, not least keeping out a point-blank effort from inside the six-yard box from Marc Guehi in the early Palace onslaught, this would have been a game Everton had no hope of coming back in.

Palace fans goaded him with chants of 'England's No 1' towards his opposite number Dean Henderson but it was Pickford who had the last laugh.

It still got me thinking as to where he ranks in the Premier League because when the league's top goalkeepers get discussed it is always the likes of Alisson Becker and David Raya that get brought up.

Pickford is as good as any goalkeeper in this league and here was the latest example as to why.

Good post, totally agree

Love him & Neville Southall equally now.
No, changed my mind its Jordan Pickford cos he's saved us the last few years & I love his personality too.

Was funny when he turned round and thanked the Palace fans for chanting "England's Number One", they shut up pretty quick.
