Ederson, City goalkeeper, relied on superiority over United and appeared in midfield

The level of Manchester City in the Premier League is impressive and the team shows its power against any rival. During the last weekend, those led by Pep Guardiola imposed conditions, without major difficulties, on Manchester United, in a new edition of the city’s classic, and goalkeeper Ederson starred in a peculiar scene.

During the second half, the ‘Citizens’ established themselves as the absolute dominators of the match, despite the fact that they already had a 2-1 lead on the scoreboard. The team’s idea was to extend the distance and close the victory at the Etihad Stadium, taking advantage of the fragility shown by the ‘Red Devils’

Precisely, Manchester United did not have strong answers to change the course of history and that caused Ederson’s confidence. The Brazilian goalkeeper is characterized by going far from his goal and participating in the construction of his team’s collective game, but this time he took more risks.

In a favorable corner for Manchester City, the goalkeeper was located in the center circle of the field and crouched down, waiting for the outcome of the play. Finally, Riyad Mahrez could not inflate the nets at that moment, although he redeemed himself minutes later, in a similar move, to decree the partial 3-1.

Finally, the Algerian himself consummated his double and decreed the 4-1, to the delight of all the fans. It is worth mentioning that during the last 17 minutes of the match, which allowed Ederson to leave his goal, the ‘Citizens’ obtained 93% of the possession, completing 224 passes; while Manchester United made 17 touches in the 7% they registered.
