England boss Gareth Southgate praises goalkeeper Jordan Pickford for his performance against the Netherlands.

England boss Gareth Southgate has praised goalkeeper Jordan Pickford for his performance against the Netherlands.

The Everton stopper was selected for Friday evening's friendly, in which Pickford kept a clean sheet as Jesse Lingard gave the Three Lions a 1-0 win.

Southgate told Sky Sports News after the game that he is happy to see the Toffees goalkeeper transferring his ability to the national team.

"Yes [it was a good night for Pickford], definitely," the manager said. "He transferred what we know he can do into an important game, a game away from home, so that was good for him.

"I think [it was] not the test that we faced in November (friendlies against Germany and Brazil) in terms of the pressure on our defence and the experience of the players.

"But, nevertheless, I think that's 11 clean sheets from our 16 games and that gives us a good base to build from."

England face Italy at Wembley in their next friendly on Tuesday.
