Ederson’s daring backheel stuns Newcastle – Guardiola’s perfect reaction

admin

Ederson pulled off a remarkable piece of skill as Manchester City travelled to Newcastle on Saturday.

The Brazilian has long been recognised for his exceptional skill with the ball at his feet and has served as an integral component of Pep Guardiolaā€™s all-conquering side since his arrival in 2017.

As further proof of his prowess on the ball, since arriving in England Ederson has made four assists, leaving him second in the Premier Leagueā€™s all-time standings.

In the first half of Cityā€™s clash with Newcastle, Ederson received the ball outside of his own box as Anthony Gordon charged him down with the game level at 0-0.

Clearly unphased by the onrushing forward, the goalkeeper cooly backheeled the ball to safety.

While he remained composed throughout the sequence, the same could not be said for Guardiola as he watched on from the touchline.

Another added: ā€˜This man wasnā€™t supposed to be a goalkeeper.ā€™

A third wrote: ā€˜It feels weird to say ā€œstop that, Ederson!ā€ without making it sound like fairly obvious advice for a goalkeeper.Ā What a backheel it was, by the way.ā€™
