It remains to be seen if the nickname catches on but it sums up the feelings of Manchester City’s players about their goalkeeper, Ederson Moraes, after his eye-catching start to life in English soccer. His performance in City’s 2-1 win over Napoli in the Champions League on Tuesday might be his most telling so far. Ederson denied Mertens by saving the low spot kick with his feet, before the ball was bundled clear. “Ederson has kept us in it,” said City defender Kyle Walker, who had conceded the penalty. A goal might just be the only thing missing in his impressive start to his City career.
