Jordan Pickford is no stranger to making spectacular saves for both Everton<\/a> and England – but was Saturday’s stop to deny Sandro Tonali his best yet?<\/p>\n

With the Toffees 3-2 up at St James’ Park, Tonali sent a rasping drive towards the Everton<\/a> goal which looked destined to draw Newcastle<\/a> level for a third time.<\/p>\n

Pickford, however, flung out a right hand and tipped the attempt on to the bar and away.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old’s Everton<\/a> team-mate Jarrad Branthwaite described it as “the best save I have ever seen”.<\/p>\n

After his side held on to claim the three points<\/a>, he added: “When he does things like that it is magic. He has kept us in the game at the end of the day and it is a massive three points.”<\/p>\n

Speaking on Match of the Day, former Newcastle<\/a> captain Alan Shearer said it was “world class”.<\/p>\n

“It is a brilliant strike from Sandro Tonali, but an unbelievable save,” said Shearer. “The reaction to get that on to the bar was remarkable.”<\/p>\n
