Penalty save 'not about bottle'

JORDAN Pickford couldn't help but issue a subtle dig at those who believe his water bottle penalty sheet should be banned.

The Blues’ goalkeeper played a key role in ensuring his side started life at Hill Dickinson Stadium with a win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday afternoon.

Jack Grealish put in a man-of-the-match display as Iliman Ndiaye and James Garner were on target.

But with just over 10 minutes of normal time left, the Seagulls were awarded a penalty after Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall handled Yankuba Minteh’s shot.
