In making the save, Pickford became the first goalkeeper to prevent Haaland from scoring a penalty in the Premier League. The Norwegian had previously netted 15 of 16 spot-kicks taken in the competition, his only miss coming against Sheffield United in 2023 with a shot that hit a post.

Erling Haaland had a second-half penalty saved as crisis-torn Manchester City failed to end their dismal run with a 1-1 draw against lowly Everton, while title contenders Chelsea suffered a first home defeat against Fulham since 1979 on Thursday.
