Ederson lands The Best FIFA Men's Goalkeeper awardBeats Courtois and Bono to prizeRecognition of treble-winning season with Man CityGettyWHAT HAPPENED?
The Brazilian beat Al-Hilal's Bono and Real Madrid's Thibaut Courtois to the prestigious award after helping City to a historic Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League treble last season.
The prize was awarded based on performances last season in the period after the conclusion of the 2022 World Cup.

City understandably featured heavily among the awards with Pep Guardiola named as best coach and the club supplying five of the FIFPRO men's World XI. A clean sweep was thwarted when Lionel Messi edged out Erling Haaland for The Best FIFA Men's Player by the narrowest of margins.

Ederson becomes the second Brazilian to win the award after Alisson won the 2019 edition with the City stopper finished third in that year's voting.
WHAT NEXT FOR EDERSON?
Monday's award ceremony came as light relief for Ederson who was forced to leave the field during Saturday's fixture with Newcastle after being injured in a play that was belatedly called back for offside. The Premier League's mini mid-season break offers City the chance to recover their goalkeeper before their next league fixture on January 31 against Burnley.
