VIDEO: 'Jordan Pickford is a clown' - England fans slam goalkeeper after poor error gifts Youri Tielemans Belgium's opener at Wembley

The Everton goalkeeper is usually renowned for his distribution but his passing ability was at fault 11 minutes into Tuesday's friendly clash. Pickford received the ball in his own box and attempted a skimmed pass upfield, which went straight to Amadou Onana. His Toffees team-mate laid it on for Tielemans, who stroked home from range as Pickford tried, in vain, to get back to cover his goal. After such a calamitous error, fans didn't hold back in their criticism of the England goalkeeper.

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

It was an eventful first 45 minutes at Wembley Stadium. Shortly after Belgium's opener <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/nightmare-for-man-city-england-star-john-stones-limps-off-belgium-friendly-arsenal-real-madrid-kyle-walker/blt2cd72d9f66fdb9fa" target="_blank">John Stones was forced off through injury</a>, adding to Pep Guardiola's injury woes ahead of a crunch clash with Arsenal on Sunday. A few minutes later Ivan Toney scored his first England goal from the spot, before Jarrod Bowen thought he'd put his side in front moments later only for VAR to rule the effort out for offside. Tielemans then completed his brace following a Lewis Dunk error to make it 2-1 to the visitors.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Toney's goal will give him a boost as he looks set to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/gareth-southgate-big-game-failings-derail-england-euro-2024-poor-judgement-lack-bravery/blt813b86d53c73708e" target="_blank">battle it out with Ollie Watkins</a> for the Harry Kane back-up spot on England's Euro 2024 squad. Gareth Southgate, meanwhile, will be out to avoid another defeat <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/england-player-ratings-brazil-jude-bellingham-harry-maguire-ben-chilwell/blt0613be69751ba605" target="_blank">having seen his side lose 1-0 to Brazil</a> in Saturday's friendly.
