MANCHESTER, England — On Saturday, Manchester City’s goalkeeper Ederson made history in the Premier League by achieving his sixth assist during a match against Newcastle, setting a new record for goalkeepers in the league.

In the 19th minute of the game, Ederson executed a precise long pass that found Omar Marmoush, who skillfully lobbed the ball over Newcastle’s Martin Dubravka, marking the first goal at the Etihad Stadium.

With this assist, Ederson surpassed the previous record held by Paul Robinson, a former goalkeeper for Leeds, Tottenham, and Blackburn, who had five assists in his Premier League career.

Notably, this season marks Ederson’s third assist, which is a significant achievement, as per statistics from Opta; it indicates a Premier League record for the most assists by a goalkeeper in a single season.

Marmoush went on to secure a first-half hat trick, bringing City’s score to 3-0 by the 33rd minute of the match, demonstrating the team’s dominant performance.
