England fans have hailed Jordan Pickford's shithousery masterclass' as he was spotted distracting Switzerland players during the penalty shoot-out victory.
The Three Lions reached the semi-finals of Euro 2024 after a 5-3 shoot-out victory, with Everton keeper Pickford making the only save from Manchester City's Manuel Akanji.
During the shootout, Pickford was up to his usual penalty shoot-out antics, with referee Daniele Orsato having to go over and speak to him on more than one occasion.
One distracting tactic he had in his locker was pulling faces toward the penalty takers, with cameras getting a close-up on him just before Fabian Schar scored his penalty.
England fans loved his tactics, with one writing: 'The s***housery from Pickford is next level.'
Meanwhile, several other fans posted laughing emojis following the close-up of his face while he attempted to distract Schar before the defender's penalty.
One wrote: 'Pickford was doing some face gestures to distract Schar, checking whether ref is aware lol.'
Another England fan posted: 'Why does Pickford always do the maddest things with his face.'
While one fan called for a Twitter page to be dedicated to Pickford's face.
@TomReilly101 replied to a picture of his face pulling, with the post: 'Hang it in the Louvre.'
England fans though were delighted that his penalty sealed the victory after a tense clash with Switzerland, as one fan commented: 'Well done Pickford. England's penalty hero again.'
One factor that perhaps contributed to the win was that Pickford did his homework as his water bottle had a list of Switzerland players and where they usually place their penalties.
Pickford guessed right with Akanji, who struck a poor penalty which the goalkeeper was able to take advantage of.
England was perfect from the spot meanwhile, as Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Ivan Toney, and Trent Alexander-Arnold left Yann Sommer no chance with their spot-kicks.
