    Echo saying Sadiki's absence is listed as being due to "infirmary", no further details, the bastion of truth that is facebook says rested due to minor injury.

    These NI kids really deserve the win, I just hope they don't run out of steam ...

    ... another goal and they'll win it imo.

    Every starting outfield player had a goal contribution anarl. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that.

    This man simply does not get the credit he deserves.

    On Thursday night, Jordan Pickford set a new Three Lions record: the most consecutive clean sheets for England. Surpassing Gordon Banks' previous record of seven, the Everton shot-stopper now has eight in a row and has not conceded a goal between the national sticks for almost a year. As for the ever-presence, reliability and consistency he boasts, it's not spoken about enough.

    Not only did he provide big stops when called upon v Wales to see the record over the line, but he's done it when the stakes are much higher too. Penalty heroics in major tournaments vs Switzerland and Colombia. Game-changing saves vs Germany in Euro 2020. In 2018, 2021 and 2024, England could have easily headed for early exits, if it wasn't for JP.

    Never making a blunder for the team too, it's a priceless value for a national team keeper playing at the most intense level of football. We've seen far too many of those blunders, but not with Pickford.

    79 senior caps on, he needs his flowers.
