Everton’s England keeper stuck out an arm, with half an hour gone, to pull off the save that changed the course of this match.
It kept out a diagonal shot across him from the in-form Salernitana striker Boulaye Dia, who’d stolen into space in the box.
Pickford’s save eased nerves in box parks, boozers and living rooms with Senegal’s first-half confidence threatening to earn the opening goal.
The African champions haven’t been struggling for them, despite being written off before the tournament with Sadio Mane failing to recover from a knee injury in time.
So the significance of Pickford’s first-half save cannot be overstated.
