JORDAN PICKFORD earned a clean sweep at Everton’s end-of-season awards ceremony.
The England international goalkeeper, 24, was named Player of the Season, Players’ Player of the Season and Young Player of the Season.
The result sums up what a disappointing campaign it had been for the Toffees, with no other stand-out candidate for any of the gongs.
Pickford joined from Sunderland for £30million in the summer and has enjoyed a steady season as Everton look set to finish comfortably in the top half.
However, things looked bleak in the early stages of the campaign with seven defeats in their first 13 matches appearing to signal they would be involved in a relegation scrap.
But Ronald Koeman was replaced by Sam Allardyce, who soon steadied the ship.
