England comfortably defeated Wales 3-0 in a friendly at Wembley, showcasing their dominance early on with three goals inside the first 20 minutes. There was no real contest as Cole Palmer, Ollie Watkins, and Bukayo Saka all found the net to put the game to bed before the halfway mark.

But beyond the goals, the night belonged to Jordan Pickford. The Everton goalkeeper etched his name into the history books by keeping his eighth consecutive clean sheet for the England national team — a new all-time record.

The 31-year-old has been a pillar of consistency since making his international debut in 2017. With 79 caps to his name, Pickford has now recorded 41 clean sheets, underlining his status as one of England’s most reliable shot-stoppers. His international journey includes two deep runs to the UEFA European Championship finals.
