Jordan Pickford pulls a funny face to confuse Erling Haaland (Prime Video Sport)
Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford pulls a silly face on Manchester City striker Erling Haaland before missing a penalty in today’s Premier League game.
You don’t often see Haaland miss big chances like this, but the Norway international’s effort wasn’t the best, and Pickford got down to put it away.
Watch below as Pickford presumably got into Haaland’s head, pulling a funny face in an attempt to put the City striker off…

Pickford was one of the Premier League’s top ‘keepers on his day, even if he often had a tough time with the Everton defense in front of him.
This was Pickford at his best though, and it means City are still chasing a winner in today’s close game at the Etihad Stadium.
Can Manchester City end their dreadful run against Everton?
At the time of writing, it remains 1-1 between City and Everton, with Pep Guardiola’s side likely heading for another disappointing result.
Bernardo Silva gave the home side the lead early in the game, before the Toffees hit back through Yiliman Ndiaye.
City probably squandered their best chance with Haaland’s missed penalty, but they still had time to find a late winner.
It would be a great result for Everton, although they can hold on, with Sean Dyche’s side often struggling in games this season and failing to climb the Premier League table.
