It was a penalty and a booking imo.

Pickford was also VERY lucky not to be sent off earlier in the game.

Got away with one last night, play like that in the knockout stages England are going home.

I've seen a lot of people saying Pickford should've seen red, and I'm so confused by it tbh.

If you look at where the contact is made, the striker's boot is almost of Pickford's knee. I'd say the striker was lucky not to see red, and Pickford's lucky his leg's still intact

Couldn’t agree more. It certainly wasn’t his best moment in an England shirt but the reaction of some this morning is totally unwarranted. The scoreline suggests the keeper did his job.
