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 Guardiolaās 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 Leagueās all-time standings.
In the first half of Cityās 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.
