Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford made a heroic triple save to rescue a point against Sheffield United, including one with his head.
The Toffees picked up their first point of the season, drawing 2-2 with Paul Heckingbottom's side, and they can have their goalkeeper to thank after an astonishing performance between the sticks.
Pickford suffered an unfortunate own-goal during the first-half when the Blades' new signing Cameron Archer's effort rifled against the post, only to rebound back onto Pickford and into the net.
But England's No. 1 more than made amends in the dying embers of stoppage time when he produced a magical triple save to deny the hosts a winner.
The former Sunderland shot-stopper reacted incredibly to tip Ollie McBurnie's header onto the bar, before improvising to save the rebound with his head and scrambling to eventually claim the ball in a messy six-yard box.

— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) September 2, 2023Speaking for the first time after the game, Pickford told TNT Sports: "I think there's a lot of positives there but still a few negatives as a team.
"They got a bit of luck in the second goal, hit me straight on the bonce!"
Discussing his heroics at the end of the game, Pickford explained: "I'm in the moment, we know they're a threat on set pieces. I've got to be switched on, I know it's the 98th minute the manager said it's going to be 100-minute matches now so never lack concentration and always be on my A-game."
