Hit #3: Ederson
Pep Guardiola has always emphasized that he sees the goalkeeper as another player at the back who can help his team with better distribution and Ederson provides him that exact quality. There are many goalkeepers in the world who possess more acrobatic skills and quick reflexes when compared to Ederson but he is more than just a goal stopper.
In this Manchester City team, he almost plays the role of a deep-lying playmaker and it was evident by the way which he played the main role in City's sixth-minute opener. His passing range and the quickness with which he gets to the ball is stunning and his role in City’s counterattack goals is indispensable.
On Monday, he was the architect behind City’s only goal of the night as he made a brilliant long pass to David Silva which eventually resulted in Riyad Mahrez scoring from close range. His great vision for long range passing is a valuable asset to a team which has the potential to be the best in Europe.
