EDERSON'S RECORD
Ederson, new EPL record holder for goalkeepers with most assistants
Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson set the record for the most assists by a goalkeeper in the English Premier League history.
The Brazil international’s assist for team-mate Omar Marmoush in the game vs Newcastle (4-0) became the 6th in his EPL career; the most among all his colleagues since English First Division rebrand in 1992.
Retired Paul Robinson was the tournament’s former record holder with 5 assists.
Back to Ederson, half of his 6 assists have come this season (also against Chelsea and Brentford). Curiously, he set up as many as goals as the likes of Cody Gakpo and Martin Ødegaard, one more than Phil Foden and Luis Diaz.
