Pep Guardiola has described his Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson as "crazy" after his heart-stopping moment against Liverpool. The Manchester City goalkeeper almost gifted Diogo Jota a goal with a calamitous error after casually fielding a back-pass and then kicking the turf as he tried to play the ball out to Aymeric Laporte.
Jota sensed an opportunity and raced in, as the ball appeared to be trickling over the line, but Ederson calmly stroked it to safety with the striker lunging in. With the game ending 2-2, it could have been a telling moment in the title race — but Guardiola says his stopper was unmoved by the fuss.
"He is crazy," said the Blues boss. "This guy is crazy, sometimes I think he doesn’t feel or something! He concedes a goal, he is calm, makes a save, he is calm, so stable and as a keeper he is fantastic. Outside, he is completely different."
