Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has defended his "extraordinary goalkeeper" Ederson after the Brazilian was guilty of two errors that led to goals in Sunday's Premier League defeat to Manchester United.
The Brazilian allowed an Anthony Martial shot to sneak under his body for the opener and then threw the ball straight to midfielder Scott McTominay for the Red Devils' second in stoppage time.
Guardiola spoke about his goalkeeper after the match and praised him despite an unusually poor performance from the 26-year-old, per Stuart Brennan at the Manchester Evening News.
