Ederson reaches a landmark that confirms his standing at Manchester City | OneFootball

Ederson kept a clean sheet during Manchester City’s 1-nil win over Southampton at the Etihad yesterday. Although the City keeper was rarely tested he did what he had to do during yesterday’s match. In the process, Ederson kept his 150th clean sheet for the club. That record confirms Ederson’s standing as one of the greatest keepers in City’s history.

It has taken Ederson 343 games to keep 150 clean sheets. That is an outstanding record for the Brazilian international. It speaks volumes about the strength of Manchester City’s defence during Ederson’s time at the club. But it is also a testament to the brilliance of City’s number-one keeper.

So often the brilliance of Ederson is overlooked. His teammates often get the plaudits, while the Brazilian’s contributions don’t create the same headlines. That is the lot goalkeepers are generally drawn, but without the Brazilian shot-stopper in goal, perhaps City wouldn’t have become the dominant force that they are today. There is no doubt that without Ederson’s inspired performance in the 2023 UEFA Champions League final win against Inter Milan Manchester City may have struggled to finally become European champions.

150 clean sheets for Manchester City is a fine achievement for Ederson. The monumental achievement confirms his standing as one of Manchester City’s greatest-ever goalkeepers. His standing at the club was already confirmed before his 150th clean sheet yesterday. But the achievement just further confirms how great a goalkeeper the Brazilian international is. Manchester City have been blessed to have Ederson in goal during his time at the club.
