Ederson made important contributions with his feet against Manchester United but his defensive improvement also shone
Ilkay Gundogan proved what a clutch player he could be in the run-in to the Treble with decisive contributions in the spring and summer, while Riyad Mahrez over the years showed his mentality on the biggest stages - in particular the run to the Champions League final in 2021. The new signings could do that in time, but it is a big ask to come in and instantly deliver.
Ederson's kicking game has always been second to none in the Premier League, and some excellent Match of the Day analysis highlighted how one pass in the derby took out six United players. The move for the second goal was started by him, helping the team go from back to front and cut through the Reds.
However, the McTominay shot had the hallmarks of recent derbies and other games where the Blues dominate yet somehow do not get the win. It also looked like an effort that probably would have beaten Ederson - who erred twice at Old Trafford in 2020 - not so long ago.
