'Once in a lifetime, it's a bucket list memory' - Pickford

[Getty Images] England and Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford says he was in the "mindset where I feel unbeatable" in the Three Lions' dramatic 3-2 World Cup round of 16 win over Mexico on Monday morning. Pickford produced two magnificent first-half saves from Raul Jimenez, then took total command of his area as Mexico threatened in the closing stages. He equalled Peter Shilton's record of 17 World Cup appearances for England and was instrumental in ensuring he will now eclipse it against Norway. "That was unreal," Pickford told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast. "You'll never get moments like that again in football. To come to The Azteca is once in a lifetime, it's a bucket list memory. We knew the ability we have and our capabilities. Everyone was talking about the altitude but it was us against them and we rolled our sleeves up and got the victory. "It wasn't pretty but we got over the line. "You have to rill your sleeves up and dig in. The defensive work the lads put in to get out to the ball, block shots, head the ball away was just part of an all-round gutsy and together performance. That's what we are, we're England and that's what we do. "I was in the moment. We all know when we get to pressure situations in knockout phases that I've got that character, I step up, and I've got that mindset where I feel unbeatable. "I've proved myself tonight that I've got that and that's why I keep improving and keep working. I set the standard for myself and moments like that you've got to enjoy. "I loved it. We did one training session before and I felt good as soon as I felt the ball in my hands. Before the game in the warm up, the distance I was kicking it, I knew I was in that moment straight away."
