GUIMARAES, Portugal (Reuters) - England's keeper Jordan Pickford scored and saved in a shootout as they beat Switzerland 6-5 on penalties to finish third in the Nations League on Sunday after the game ended goalless following extra time. Pickford produced an outstanding save to keep out Josip Drmic's spot kick low to his right to win the game, after both teams had converted all their previous penalties. England, who were beaten by the Netherlands after extra time in their semi-final on Thursday, picked up their first victory in a third-place playoff game since the 1968 European Championship. "It was a very tough game but after 120 minutes on Thursday as well we showed character. "We've done a lot of work over the three weeks on (penalties) and that's come to fruition," he added.
