Jordan Pickford's Crucial Penalty Shootout Save
A picture of Jordan Pickford's water bottle has appeared on the internet after England's amazing win in a penalty shootout against Switzerland at Euro 2024.
England secured their place in the next stage of the competition after winning a penalty shootout 5-4.
Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Ivan Toney, and Trent Alexander-Arnold all found the back of the net with penalty kicks.
Alexander-Arnold did not start the game, but he showed maturity in his post-match interview after scoring the winning penalty.
Pickford stopped Manuel Akanji's penalty, and a photo of his water bottle indicates that he followed his directions perfectly.
A zoomed-in photo of the England goalie's drink container reveals the best direction to leap for every Swiss player.
And Akanji chose to 'dive left' during the penalty kick, successfully saving the shot from the Everton player.

Pickford has once again saved England in a penalty shootout after his amazing performance against Colombia in the 2018 World Cup.
He has stopped four out of the 14 penalties he has faced during shootouts in big tournaments. This is twice as many saves as all the other England goalkeepers combined managed to make between the years 1990 and 2012, which was only 2 out of 26 penalties.
The Three Lions will continue their journey next Wednesday when they face the victor of the Netherlands vs. Turkey match.
