Jordan Pickford’s water bottle told him exactly where Maddison would put penalty
Jordan Pickford was always the favourite before saving James Maddison's penalty against Leicester – thanks to his detailed water bottle.
The England and Everton stopped saved the effort from the spot as Maddison went down the middle with the score at 2-1 to the hosts in the second-half.
Before Alex Iwobi went on to equalise for Sean Dyche's men to leave them a point away from safety, Sky Sports cameras zoomed in on the water bottle of Pickford – to showcase some vital statistics.

The long-range lens could make out the names of each Leicester player and where they put the majority of their penalties, with Maddison 60% down the middle.
Others stats showed that Jamie Vardy usually goes to the right and that Youri Tielemans prefers the left-hand side, with Pickford more than prepared.
Social media loved to see the use of the special bottle, as Pickford has done before on England duty, with rival fans wanting their goalkeepers to do the same.
