Jordan Pickford's water bottle has emerged amid his stunning penalty save against Erling Haaland during Manchester City vs. Everton.

Haaland had the perfect opportunity to put Man City back in the lead when his side were awarded a penalty shortly after the interval.

Vitaly Mykolenko fouled Savinho inside the box, with match referee Simon Hooper pointing to the spot.

Haaland placed the ball on the spot but fluffed his lines from 12 yards.

Pickford pulled off a great save, diving to his right to deny the Norwegian forward.

After his penalty save, his water bottle emerged, which contained intel on Man City's penalty takers.

An image showed Pickford had intel on Phil Foden, Jeremy Doku, Jack Grealish and Mateo Kovacic written on his water bottle.

A graph for each player demonstrated their preferred area of the goal when taking a penalty.

Of course, Haaland took the penalty, with the England international preventing him from scoring.

The penalty save proved crucial as Everton left the Etihad with a huge point against Pep Guardiola's side.

Speaking after the game, Seamus Coleman, who was cautioned for his mind games with Haaland moments before the penalty, said: "Listen, we came here wanting to get a point and you can do anything you can sometimes to win.

"There was no swearing or anything like that."

It's not the first time Pickford has had intel written on his water bottle.

At Euro 2024, the goalkeeper had information on every Switzerland penalty taker.

A close-up shot of his water bottle had instructions where to dive for each Swiss player.

And it had 'dive left' for Manuel Akanji, which he did to save the penalty.
