Ederson has made history for Man City by breaking the clean sheet record in a narrow win against Bournemouth.

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson made history with a clean sheet against Bournemouth, ensuring his team’s victory in the Premier League at Vitality Stadium. This significant achievement marked Ederson breaking the club record for the most clean sheets in the league, surpassing the previous record held by Joe Hart. Ederson sealed his 110th clean sheet in the Premier League in 242 appearances, overtaking Hart’s tally of 109, despite Hart playing in 266 matches. Notably, Ederson now ranks 15th in the all-time list of goalkeepers with the most clean sheets in the English top flight, with Petr Cech leading the pack with 202 clean sheets.

Joining Manchester City from Benfica in 2017, the 30-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper has undeniably established himself as one of the finest goalkeepers in the club’s history. His impactful contributions have been crucial to the team’s successes over the years. Ederson clinched the Premier League Golden Glove award in the 2019/20 season and continued to impress, repeating this accomplishment in the subsequent two campaigns.

As Pep Guardiola’s side shifts its focus to the upcoming FA Cup fifth-round clash against Luton Town and an upcoming league match against rivals Manchester United, Ederson’s remarkable performance and leadership serve as a cornerstone for Manchester City’s continued pursuit of excellence on the pitch.
