Jordan Pickford may be dogged for a while by his howler that led to Liverpool’s late winner against Everton, but he might’ve avoided getting hit by the papers if he had a best friend like the one that turned up far away in South America on Sunday.

But — out for a walk, maybe? — this pooch came to the rescue and cleared the ball off the line.
More goalkeeping heroics from dogs in South America 🐶
