With 208 appearances, Ederson is second only to two goalkeepers on the list of fastest to reach the milestone: Chelsea’s Petr Cech (180 appearances) and Liverpool’s Pepe Reina (198 appearances). The 29-year-old surpasses important names in English football such as Peter Schmeichel and Edwin van der Sar.
This season, the Brazilian can also beat another expressive record. If he wins the Golden Glove, given to the goalkeeper with the fewest clean sheets in the championship, Ederson will be the first to take the trophy four seasons in a row. The City athlete is currently three games behind first-placed Nick Pope of Newcastle.
Another player who reached a special mark this Saturday was Phil Foden. The 22-year-old midfielder became the fastest player to reach 50 goal appearances for Manchester City in English Championship. The number 47 was the one who opened the scoring in the triumph over Newcastle.
