New Delhi: Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has etched his name into the Premier League history books once again, setting a new benchmark for goalkeepers in the competition. The Brazilian shot-stopper is now the outright leader for most assists by a goalkeeper in Premier League history, surpassing the previous record of five, held by former Blackburn Rovers keeper Paul Robinson. He is now the most creative goalkeeper the Premier League has ever seen, cementing his legacy as one of the best keepers in the league.
The record-breaking moment came during City’s dominant first half display against Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium. In the 19th minute, Ederson launched a pinpoint long ball up field that fell perfectly to new signing Omar Marmoush. The Egyptian forward controlled the pass expertly before lobbing Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka with a sublime finish to open the scoring. It was a moment of sheer class from both players, but for Ederson, it marked yet another milestone in his already illustrious career.

Ederson’s ability with the ball at his feet has long set him apart from traditional goalkeepers, and this latest record further cements his reputation as one of the most unique shot-stoppers in football history. Since arriving at Manchester City in 2017, his distribution has been a game-changer for Pep Guardiola’s side, allowing them to build attacks from deep and even bypass midfield lines with his long-range accuracy.
His sixth career Premier League assist is a testament to his exceptional vision and technique. Goalkeepers are primarily judged on their shot-stopping and command of the box, but Ederson has redefined the position by contributing to his team’s attacking play. His tally of three assists in the current season alone is something many midfielders would be proud of, highlighting just how influential he is beyond his goalkeeping duties.

He was solid between the posts tonight, distributing the ball with his usual precision and is on the way to keeping another clean sheet in the process. His ability to launch quick counter-attacks gives City a tactical edge, allowing them to exploit spaces behind the opposition defense. His assist tonight made another piece of history for the Brazilian as he also became the first goalkeeper to notch three assists in a single season.
This season has been one of individual brilliance for Ederson, and his latest feat will only add to his growing legacy. While he remains a crucial figure in City’s quest for silverware, his ability to influence games beyond just shot-stopping continues to amaze fans and pundits alike. With Manchester City pushing for yet another Premier League title, having a goalkeeper who can contribute directly to goals gives them a distinct advantage.
