Ederson helped Manchester City defeat Newcastle United 2-0 at home on Saturday, becoming the third-fastest goalkeeper in Premier League history to achieve 100 clean sheets. Since joining Pep Guardiola's team in the summer of 2017, the 29-year-old has played a significant role in the team. His dependable play in goal has helped the Citizens achieve four Premier League championships in the last five seasons.
The composed Brazilian has shared the Premier League Golden Glove award for the 2021–22 season with Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker. He is still in the running for the award this year after preserving his ninth consecutive clean sheet against Newcastle. The former Benfica goalkeeper is one of only three current goalkeepers in the top division, along with David de Gea of Manchester United and Hugo Lloris of Tottenham Hotspur, who have maintained at least 100 clean sheets and who are capable of moving up the overall rankings.
With goals from Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva either side of halftime in the win over Newcastle, along with Ederson's most recent shutout, Guardiola's team has closed the gap on league leaders Arsenal, who play Bournemouth on Saturday, to two points. In a week, when Man City plays Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in their next top-flight game, Ederson will try to maintain his 10th clean sheet of the year.
