Man City goalkeeper Ederson: Pep has transformed my game

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson admits working with manager Pep Guardiola has transformed his game.

Ederson kept a clean sheet for last night's rout of Burnley.

He told Sky Sports: "The role of a goalkeeper in Pep's team is like the eleventh outside player on the pitch, in terms of structure, the pressing game. I think it's harder. It is a greater responsibility because you cannot afford to make any mistakes. If you do, it probably ends in an end-to-end goal.

"Pep is a fantastic manager who sees football in a different way. He lives football and breathes football. The way he thinks about the game is completely different from other managers. He has helped me a lot, but not just me, the rest of my teammates too."
