Think the Pickford one is difficult, he’s gone for a spread - standard goalkeeper technique with an attacker coming in towards him, just both attacker and keeper missed the ball.
had vdv connected with it, we’d be saying it was an unreal and brave save.
but then, take it as a tackle rather than a save technique it’s a red card anywhere else on the pitch.
aside from the rules taking it back to the phase of play that was offside
I think Lewis Dunk got a straight red for exactly the same challenge at the weekend. Goalkeepers get cut a lot of slack IMO.
