Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson admits that he would love to score a goal for his side all the way from his own penalty box.

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has expressed his desire to score a goal for his side all the way from his own penalty box.

The Brazilian has impressed in between the sticks for the Premier League champions since arriving at the Etihad Stadium from Benfica last summer.

Ederson used to play outfield as a youngster and, although he is happy to leave the more conventional goals to his teammates, he nonetheless wants to get on the scoresheet at some point.

"We already have players in the team to kick the penalties and the free kicks so it won't be me," the 24-year-old told the Daily Mail.

"I always train as a goalkeeper. I never train outside the goal. My goal is to defend our goal, save shots and not concede goals.

"But one thing that could happen is to score a goal from my penalty box to the other box directly. I already scored two that way when I was at the Benfica academy. If I was able to repeat that here, which would be very unusual, it would make me really happy."

Former Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Paul Robinson famously scored against Watford counterpart and England teammate Ben Foster with a 90-yard punt in a Premier League match between the two sides in 2007.
