Ederson breaks Premier League assist record

On the evening of April 12, goalkeeper Ederson affirmed his different class when he helped Man City beat Crystal Palace 5-2 in round 32 of the Premier League.

In addition to his outstanding shot-stopping ability, the Brazilian goalkeeper has also been known as one of the best passers in the goalkeeping position since joining the Etihad Stadium team from Benfica in 2017.

Under the guidance of Pep Guardiola, Ederson has gradually become an important link in the style of play that develops the ball from the back. And that special talent helps him make a significant mark in the attacking situations of the blue half of Manchester.

In February, Ederson broke the record for most assists in Premier League history by a goalkeeper when he provided a long pass for Omar Marmoush to score against Newcastle. It was his sixth assist in the top flight.

Against Palace, he continued to increase this record to 7 after a sensational pass from the home field, creating conditions for young talent James McAtee to score. This was also Man City's 4th goal of the match, opening a spectacular comeback after being 2 goals down early.

Unfortunately for Ederson, his joy was not complete. He was forced to leave the field in the middle of the second half due to injury, giving way to reserve goalkeeper Stefan Ortega.

However, the mark that Ederson left in the match is still clear proof of his talent and irreplaceable position in the Man City squad.

With the 5-2 comeback win, Man City temporarily climbed to 4th place on the Premier League rankings, 2 points ahead of Chelsea but having played 1 more match.
