Gareth Southgate’s side secured their passage through to the quarter-finals of this summer’s delayed tournament with a 2-0 victory over the Germans at Wembley. But Pickford was the standout performer for Neville, who branded the 27-year-old as England’s best player at Euro 2020 thus far. ‘My MOM (man of the match) last night was Jordan Pickford and I also think he’s been England’s player of the tournament so far,’ ex-England defender Neville wrote on Twitter. ‘I’ve been critical of him with Everton but with England he’s a different player!’Pickford, who is yet to concede a goal at Euro 2020 so far, also caught the eye of his former Everton team-mate Theo Walcott.
