'Where are you, Joe?' - Gary Lineker fires shots at Joe Hart after Man City replacement Ederson breaks Premier League record for most assists by a goalkeeper

Premier League

Manchester City

Liverpool

<p>Ederson assisted Omar Marmoush's opener during Manchester City's 4-0 win over Newcastle United as the Egyptian scored a first-half hattrick. With his assist to Pep Guardiola's new signing, the Brazilian goalkeeper got his sixth career assist in the Premier League, a record in the league's history.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>As Lineker, Hart and Alan Shearer talked about Ederson's Premier League record on BBC Match of the Day, the former England goalkeeper had a hilarious shot aimed at him by the host, Lineker. The former Three Lions striker asked Ederson's Manchester City predecessor, Hart, where he was on the list. The former Celtic star joked that there was a reason that Ederson was playing for the Citizens instead of him.</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Low blow, <a href="https://twitter.com/GaryLineker?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GaryLineker</a> 😂<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BBCFootball?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BBCFootball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MOTD?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MOTD</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MCINEW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MCINEW</a> <a href="https://t.co/5nT4ukrQtu">pic.twitter.com/5nT4ukrQtu</a></p>— Match of the Day (@BBCMOTD) <a href="https://twitter.com/BBCMOTD/status/1890895218058162192?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 15, 2025</a></blockquote>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Hart was never considered a ball-playing goalkeeper and his lack of footwork was the reason Guardiola opted to look for a new goalkeeper when he took over at Manchester City in 2016. The England international, however, did pick up his first career assist when playing with West Ham in the 2017/18 Premier League season.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Despite his successes over the last few years, the Brazilian still has fewer clean sheets in the Premier League than Hart. The latter boasts 127 shutouts compared to Ederson's 116. With Ederson's future with City beyond this season in doubt, Hart's record may remain intact with the Manchester-based club.</p>
