While disappointed at that result, Pickford was able to let his hair down afterwards. He spent a wild evening in the company of friends and family, with Rooney joining the festivities alongside former boxing champion Bellew and current Toffees captain Seamus Coleman.

Pickford’s wife, Megan, shared images of the event on social media and said: “What a night for the husbands 30th birthday. You mean the world to us all. Thankyou so much @jonnybongolacey for the best night ever.”
WHAT NEXT?
‘Jonny Bongo’ is the founder of Bongos Bingo, a company that prides itself on being “a crazy mix of traditional bingo, dance-offs, rave intervals and audience participation”. They helped to ramp up the fun factor at Merrydale Manor, with Pickford able to briefly put relegation fears with Everton to the back of his mind.
