Frank Lampard praised Jordan Pickford for producing another important performance to help Everton earn a point at Fulham.
Pickford pulled off two fine stops to keep the hosts out as they threatened to overwhelm the Blues in the first half. They were the latest stunning efforts to keep opponents at bay in a season in which Pickford is again impressing.
The England number one currently holds the titles for the best save of last season and the best save of last month in the Premier League.

At Fulham he pulled off an incredible reflex save to push a Willian effort over the bar. From the resulting corner he flew to his right to tip over an Aleksandar Mitrovic header destined for the top corner. Pickford, who is currently in talks over a new contract with Everton, also saved from Harrison Reed and commanded his area throughout the second half.
Of his performance, Lampard said: “It was a really good performance from him, he trains well every day. He's got a great attitude, he's generally been England's number one and that is always Gareth's [Southgate] choice but from my point of view… I know how important keepers are, they can make or break you as a coach as a team. We talk about expected goals and all these things and when he plays like that then he wins you points, there is no doubt.
"Last week he could put his feet up, this week we relied on him and he makes great saves.”
