By now you should know that Ederson is quite the passer. But he took it to another level last night in the Champions League against Napoli.
The Brazilian starred for Manchester City as they continued their fine form in Europe. Pep Guardiola's charges secured all three points after beating their Italian counterparts 2-1 courtesy of Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus.
And following the game, Ederson was the talk of social media for his ridiculous range of passing. From simple passes to the central defenders to aerial balls to the wing-backs. He's got the lot.

If that wasn't enough, Ederson also saved a penalty in the first half when the score was 2-0.

His heroics between the sticks was praised by his teammates. Kyle Walker feels the young stopper kept his side in the game, while thanking him for his commanding display.
"I thought the lads showed good character out there. Ederson has kept us in it and we need to say a big thanks to him," he told BT Sport via Goal.
Injury-stricken Benjamin Mendy was also in fine form on social media. He took to Twitter to react to his crucial save before responding to him eventually conceding a goal in typically hilarious fashion.
Ederson and Co. are back in action this weekend when they host Burnley in the Premier League.
