Jordan Pickford gifted Belgium the opening goal in Tuesday's friendly as the England goalkeeper made an unusual error when trying to play out from the back at Wembley.<br/><br/>The Everton shot-stopper is set to be England's first-choice goalkeeper at the upcoming European Championship in Germany but didn't cover himself in glory as Youri Tielemans opened the scoring. <br/><br/>England went into the game seeking to avoid a second consecutive Wembley defeat when Pickford topped off a comical run of errors in the build-up to Belgium's first goal.<br/><br/>A host of failed defensive clearances and scruffy tackles on the edge of England's box forced him to make a dreadful pass into midfield that was intercepted by his Toffees team-mate Amadou Onana.<br/><br/>Pickford had taken up a position outside his area and left Onana with plenty of time to find Tielemans who found the bottom corner with a simple shot.<br/><br/>The Three Lions star had tried to make it back across his goal while England's defenders struggled to regain ground following the error. <br/><br/>The Belgian star celebrated emphatically as Pickford was left red-faced following his mistake that left England chasing the match.<br/><br/>Former England goalkeeper Robert Green described Pickford's attempted pass as a 'horrible strike' and praised Tielemans for being smart with his finish back across goal.<br/><br/>'He raises his hand in acknowledgment and it's a gift. Pickford showed himself and tried to play an extravagant pass, but there was nothing on. <br/><br/>'It's a horrible strike that's all it is, nothing more to it. It's a clever finish, he knows Pickford will be desperate dashing back across his goal,' he said.<br/><br/>Former England and Chelsea star Joe Cole similarly praised Tielemans' finish and slammed the hosts' start to the game, adding: 'Lovely touch from Onana, very clever from Tielemans, he knows Pickford is desperately going to his far post and he drags it with his left-foot into the bottom corner.<br/><br/>'England were all over the shop in the first 10 minutes. Very poor start from England,' he said.<br/><br/>England went on to secure a 2-2 draw as Jude Bellingham struck with the last kick of the game to ensure Southgate's side avoided consecutive Wembley defeats.<br/>
