David Moyes hailed Jordan Pickford’s “out of this world” save after the Everton goalkeeper denied Sandro Tonali late in injury time to protect his side’s lead against Newcastle.

Pickford managed to tip the Italian midfielder’s powerfully-struck volley on to the crossbar to ensure his side won 3-2 at St. James’ Park. Jarrad Branthwaite, Beto and Thierno Barry grabbed the three goals for the visitors.

“The biggest credit I could give the save would be to say that Tonali’s volley was textbook. Probably if he got it, he couldn’t do any better if he tried again. It was so good, technique, on target,” Moyes said after the stellar win that took his side to eighth in the standings.

“It took a wonder save to make it happen, so great credit to Jordan, and I’ve got to say it was a brilliant volley by Tonali as well.”

The win over Newcastle helped the Blues return to winning ways after consecutive losses at home. Their form on the road has been mighty impressive this season, despite recent concerns regarding their home record.

"I'm hugely pleased with how we're doing. I want to get away from this thing that we don't have any home form,” Moyes added.

The ferocity of that shot would smash the wrist of anybody else. Not bad for a T-Rex.

Almost as good as Nev's save against Falco.

Without a shadow of a doubt we have the best goalkeeper in the Premier League and definitely one of the best in the world.

The ball is in your court,allow them to play in a positive attacking style at home.

Burnley on Tuesday the perfect chance to keep the momentum of yesterday going

Growing up as a young Everin fan I was privileged to have Gordon West as my goalkeeping hero. Big Nev was my favourite growing up. I think Jordan must be the hero of young boys and girls of the present day Everton supporters. He is a great character and is right up there with Gordon and Nev as one of my personal favourite Everton players during my lifetime. We are lucky to have him as one of ours
