There was a lot of talk about West Ham’s match with Everton in connection with the injury of the Czech striker Tomáš Souček and due to the absence of another Czech player in the set of Hammers Alex Král, who had a positive test for coronavirus.

The attention of journalists and spectators did not escape the cunning drawing, which was made by the goalkeeper of the home team Jordan Pickford on the water bottle. He was ready where West Ham players – Noble, Antonio and Rice, most often kick penalty kicks.

In the end, however, they did not happen and the Hammers were enough to win the Ogbonny’s head in the second half. Pickford did not use the tow method for the first time. At the World Championships in 2018, he helped him to a memorable victory over England 4: 3 in a penalty shootout, when he caught Carlos Bacca.

He also used it at this year’s EURO, where, despite two penalty penalties, he was ultimately ineffective. Italy won the penalty 3: 2, overall 2: 1.
