Everton's goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has achieved a remarkable feat in the Premier League. After a stalemate with Tottenham Hotspur that ended 0-0, the shot-stopper marked his 100th match without conceding a goal in the English championship.
Pickford becomes just the 19th goalkeeper in Premier League history to reach this milestone.
100th clean sheet at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
He successfully kept the opposition at bay during Saturday's match against Tottenham, ensuring his goal remained untouched.
With this achievement, the Everton keeper joins an elite group of goalkeepers who have surpassed the 100 clean sheet mark.
The most recent before Pickford to achieve this was Alisson, who recorded his 100th clean sheet on January 1st, 2026, in a match against Leeds, which also finished 0-0.
Who leads the rankings?
The Premier League clean sheet record is held by Petr Cech, the legendary goalkeeper who retired with an incredible 202 clean sheets.
David James follows in second place with 169, while Mark Schwarzer holds third with 151.
Pickford currently sits in 19th place with his tally of 100 clean sheets.
Top 10 for clean sheets

- Mark Schwarzer — 151
- David De Gea — 147
- David Seaman — 140
- Pepe Reina — 136

Alisson occupies 18th place with 104 clean sheets, just ahead of Pickford.
Pickford could climb higher
The next active goalkeeper approaching Pickford's milestone is Nick Pope, who has recorded 80 clean sheets in the Premier League.
However, Pope has yet to play this season for Newcastle, losing his starting spot to goalkeeper Lukas Gornichek.
Meanwhile, Pickford continues to feature prominently and has the opportunity to significantly enhance his stats.
It’s important to note that a clean sheet is awarded only if the goalkeeper plays the full match.
