The Brazilian goalkeeper, known for his passing ability, made a costly mistake in their Premier League clash against Spurs at the Etihad. He made a terrible pass to Rodri, who was instantly robbed of the ball by Rodrigo Bentancur. The ball eventually fell to Dejan Kulusevski, who put Tottenham in the lead in the 44th minute.
Posting on his Instagram after the game, Ederson apologized for the mistake but claimed he wouldn’t change his playing style. He wrote:
Fortunately for Manchester City, the mistake didn’t cost them three points as they made an exceptional comeback in the second half.
Emerson Royal doubled Tottenham’s lead just two minutes after Kulusevski’s goal as the scoreline read 2-0 at halftime.
However, Pep Guardiola’s side came out firing as Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland restored parity by the 53rd minute. Riyad Mahrez then scored a brace to complete the comeback for the hosts.
With the win, Manchester City remain within touching distance of league leaders Arsenal, who are five points above the defending champions with a game in hand.
