Very rarely does a goalkeeper make four assists across an entire career. Ederson has achieved it this season alone. The Brazilian racked up his goal-providing quad in Man City's 5-2 win over Crystal Palace, marking this as the most successful-ever season for assists from goalkeepers in a single Premier League campaign. Fellow Brazilian Alisson returned for Liverpool to remind everyone why he's the best in the world in a 2-1 triumph of West Ham, while all manner of questions continue to be raised over the goalkeeping dilemma facing Manchester United. In the EFL, pro debuts were made by Luke Hutchinson (Crawley, on loan from Bolton) and Taite Holtam (Gillingham), Sam Tickle reached 100 career appearances at Wigan and Luke McGee played a huge role in Tranmere's remarkable comeback in a League Two basement battle at Accrington.

FCA Short is een korte dagelijkse podcast van FC Afkicken waarin we de pure voetbalromanticus in onszelf naar boven halen. Want we hebben het in de Daily te weinig over alle mooie verhalen en momenten die deze fantastische sport heeft voortgebracht.Sommige spelers hangen hun schoenen aan de wilgen en verdwijnen uit de schijnwerpers. Anderen blijven zoeken, blijven vechten, blijven geloven dat er nog een hoofdstuk te schrijven valt. Edgar Davids hoorde bij die laatste categorie. Niet in Milaan, niet in Turijn of Barcelona, maar in een bescheiden stadion in Noord-Londen vond hij zijn volgende missie. Barnet stond onderaan in League Two, ten dode opgeschreven. En toen stapte Davids binnen.Zelfverzekerd, met zijn kenmerkende bril en een aura van onwrikbare vastberadenheid, liep hij Underhill Stadium binnen. De club verkeerde in crisis, 3 punten uit 11 wedstrijden, een vrije val naar de non-league. Maar Davids zag geen verloren zaak, hij zag een uitdaging. Zijn eerste wedstrijd als speler-manager? Een 4-0 overwinning. Meteen man van de wedstrijd. Een glimp van hoop in een seizoen dat hooploos leek.Ze klommen uit de degradatiezone. Fans begonnen te geloven. In april leek de ontsnapping nabij. Op de allerlaatste speeldag hoefde Barnet alleen nog maar te winnen om zich te redden. Maar het lot, dat net zo meedogenloos kan zijn als een verloren duel op het middenveld, besliste anders. Een 2-0 nederlaag. Degradatie. 51 punten—normaal genoeg voor lijfsbehoud—bleken niet voldoende.Davids bleef. Nam rugnummer 1. Maar de magie verdween. De kaarten stapelden zich op, de successen bleven uit. Na vijf rode kaarten trok hij zijn conclusie. Zijn tijd bij Barnet eindigde niet zoals hij gehoopt had, maar één ding is zeker: De fans van Barnet zullen zich altijd die ene Nederlander herinneren, die even de held leek te worden.In de podcast verwijzen Bart en Mart naar:Presentatie en debuut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW1SwgQ29JU&ab_channel=MageekNailsmashDe elleboog tegen Wrexham: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_67KQHpmGE&ab_channel=TNTSportsSkills & Goals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=em8By116_R0&rco=1&ab_channel=SkyBetMoses Duckrell legt uit hoe hij het nieuws brak: https://x.com/SkySportsPL/status/1828841222284136800Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
