England’s men’s team were also in action on Sunday in the Uefa Nations League third/fourth-placed match against Switzerland.
The match finished 0-0 after extra-time so it went to penalties. England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was the star of the shoot-out. The Everton No.1 scored from 12 yards before saving from Josip Drmic to seal the bronze medal.
“Pick that one out” says the Daily Star’s back page after Pickford’s heroics in Guimaraes.
