Ederson Sets Premier League Goalkeeper Assist Record Against Newcastle

Manchester City's goalkeeper Ederson made history by setting a new Premier League record for the most assists by a goalkeeper during a match against Newcastle, achieving his sixth assist in the competition. His long ball in the 19th minute led to Omar Marmoush scoring the opening goal, surpassing the previous record of five assists held by Paul Robinson.

Manchester City went on to win the match 4-0, with Marmoush completing a hat trick.
