After Mason Mount's shot had hit both posts, Pickford raced across his line and then dived in the opposite direction to keep out Azpilicueta's rebound as Everton beat Chelsea 1-0.
It was a save of added significance as it moved the 18th-placed Toffees two points from safety as they ultimately went on to avoid relegation.
Pickford wins the award after receiving the most combined votes from the public and a panel of football experts.
He topped a shortlist featuring nine other sensational stops by goalkeepers across the campaign.
