Jordan Pickford believes that Everton must look to themselves as an entire club to ensure theyre not left desperately scrapping at the foot of the Premier League ever again.

The England keeper produced a fine save at the end of a tense relegation decider on Sunday that could prove absolutely vital to the future of the Goodison outfit, after a second successive last-gasp escape.
