He is yet to be beaten in 450 minutes of Euro 2020 action.
And Jordan Pickford has made more history with his string of shut-outs for England.
The former Carlisle United loan player has become the first goalkeeper ever to keep clean sheets in each of his first five matches in a European Championships tournament.
Pickford was seldom troubled in the Three Lions' 4-0 quarter-final thrashing of Ukraine.

The Everton No1, who played for the Blues in 2014, now has the chance to help England to their first major tournament final since 1966.
They face Denmark at Wembley on Wednesday in the semi-finals.
Pickford, 27, had already claimed a piece of history with his defiant displays earlier in the tournament.
The first three games saw him become only the second England No1 to keep three clean-sheets in the group stage of a major tournament since World Cup winner Gordon Banks in 1966.
Those clean sheets against Croatia, Scotland and the Czech Republic were followed by a fine display in the 2-0 last-16 win over Germany before last night's superb victory in Rome.
