Everton Stars Feature As England Soar To Semi-Finals

Jordan Pickford extended his perfect Euro 2020 clean sheet record and Dominic Calvert-Lewin made his second tournament appearance as England swept aside Ukraine in a one-sided quarter-final clash in Rome.

Everton number one Pickford produced another impressive performance as the Three Lions eased to a 4-0 victory to book a last-four meeting with Denmark at Wembley on Wednesday.

Pickford is the first goalkeeper in history to keep a clean sheet in each of the first five matches of a European Championship competition.

The tie was as good as won when Calvert-Lewin was introduced as a 73rd-minute substitute, but the Blues striker still offered an important attacking outlet for Gareth Southgate's team.


England got off to a dream start, hitting the front on four minutes through Harry Kane’s first-time finish.

Pickford made an excellent save on 17 minutes – the latest in a series of key stops he has made during Euro 2020 – when he kept out Roman Yaremchuk’s low drive.

Harry Maguire’s towering header made it 2-0 shortly after the half-time interval – and further headed efforts from Kane and Jordan Henderson wrapped up the scoring.

Pickford beat away a powerful long-range hit from Yevhen Makarenko 15 minutes from time but it was an otherwise quiet evening for the 27-year-old.

Attention now turns to Wednesday’s clash with Denmark, which will be England’s first European Championship semi-final in 25 years.

The winners of the contest will face Spain or Italy in the July 11 final.
