When Thibaut Courtois swapped Chelsea for Real Madrid, it was a decision that was met by Blues fans with anger and criticism. Perhaps the Belgium international was a bit of a 'snake' in the way he went about securing his move to Madrid, but a large part of fans' anger didn't stem from his actions to complete the move - but rather the fact that they were fully aware that they were losing a world class goalkeeper and one of the best in the business. Thibaut Courtois left Chelsea fans frustrated...

Had coronavirus not struck, Jordan Pickford could have been lining up for England in the Euro 2020 final last Sunday. Instead, he was clawing Daniel Podence's tame shot off his line as it had wriggled through his clutches during Everton's 3-0 defeat to Wolves in the Premier League. Podence's effort was kept out, but it was one of a number of hair-raising, edge of your seat moments that Pickford has produced this season. Had the Euros taken place as originally planned, the Everton stopper would...
