Jordan Pickford's stunning last-minute save against Newcastle United proved decisive as Everton held on for a 3-2 victory at St James' Park. Facing a 3-2 deficit, Sandro Tonali's powerful drive seemed certain to level the scores. However, the 31-year-old Everton goalkeeper flung out his right hand, tipping the shot onto the crossbar and clearing the danger.

Jarrad Branthwaite, Everton's teammate, immediately hailed it as 'the best save I have ever seen', while Alan Shearer, the former Newcastle captain, declared it 'world class'. Speaking on Match of the Day, Shearer added the reaction was 'remarkable', praising both Tonali's strike and Pickford's incredible response.
