England manager Thomas Tuchel praised Jordan Pickford's composure and adaptability after the goalkeeper set a record with his eighth consecutive clean sheet in his country's 3-0 victory over Wales in a friendly match at Wembley on Thursday.

The 31-year-old surpassed the record he had previously shared with England great Gordon Banks to become the first keeper to achieve eight successive shutouts in 90-minute appearances for the England men's team.

England stormed to their eighth straight win against Wales, with goals from Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins and Bukayo Saka effectively ending the contest within 20 minutes.

Tuchel, who took charge of England in January, commended Pickford's ability to remain sharp after being largely untested for long stretches of the game.
