Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has etched his name into the history books of the English Premier League. During Saturday’s match against Chelsea, the Brazilian shot-stopper provided an assist for Erling Haaland, setting up the second goal for the Citizens.

This assist marked Ederson’s fifth in the Premier League, tying him with Paul Robinson for the most assists by a goalkeeper in the competition’s history. In doing so, he surpassed David Seaman, the legendary Arsenal goalkeeper, who had four assists.

While Ederson continues to showcase his exceptional distribution skills, his goalkeeping statistics this season have been less impressive. The Brazilian has managed only three clean sheets in 15 Premier League appearances, a figure that will undoubtedly need improvement as Manchester City push for the title.

Ederson’s unique ability to contribute to the attack has made him a key figure in Pep Guardiola’s system. His record-breaking assist against Chelsea is a testament to his versatility and vision, further solidifying his reputation as one of the most innovative goalkeepers in modern football.
