Not in the top 5 for the tournament. But it was a good save and Pickford had an excellent tournament.
....having said that he was poor on the first goal...He is doing a positioning hop to load his legs while the ball is being hit by Perisic. He is literally in mid air standing straight up when the shot is coming at him. If he keeps his feet he saves it fairly easily.

the bold. absolutely.agree.
the latter!!! i have been quietly really studying the GKing this past year. the hopping is poor technique. you have to wait to come back down, absorb the energy in the leanding AND THEN push off... and ya see it all the time.

6'4"/6'5" is ideal, 6'3" is passable for a good keeper and anything lower you're running a risk, some saves by smaller blokes look better but would be more routine for bigger ones
i dont think courtois is a great keeper but the pure size of the c*** makes him alot more safe than he is

Hopping like this can pay off, but it's essentially gambling that you hit the timing and it has high risks. I've posted about Leno as he does a similar technique, but much more optimized towards quick footwork. I actually like his technique and think it can work, but it's by far the defining characteristic of his style. I would link a video, but you can look up literally any video he does it 100% of the time.
