Manchester City earned a fourth clean sheet of the season in their victory over Crystal Palace, but only because of a top drawer performance from Ederson.
Pep Guardiola’s side were comfortable for long periods despite an unorthodox backline which included midfielders Rodri and Ferandinho partnering each other at centre-back.
However, within seconds of coming on as a substitute Christian Benteke almost halved the 2-0 deficit, and would have done so but for a remarkable stop from the Brazilian, who tipped his header onto the woodwork.

That stop has earned him numerous plaudits amongst the City fans, with some acknowledging his involvement as important as the contributions of the likes of Gabriel Jesus and David Silva, who scored the two goals.
Ederson followed up his moment of brilliance with another fine stop from Wilfried Zaha, prompting praise from his manager, who labelled them “world-class” saves.
He is often useful to his side with the ball at his feet too, as his two assists last term suggests, so it is easy to see why these City fans have been quick to lavish praise on him.
