Pep Guardiola credited goalkeeper Ederson for helping Manchester City record a 3-1 victory over Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday evening.
City opened the scoring through Gabriel Jesus but Dominic Calvert-Lewin levelled the deficit before half-time.
Guardiola's champions then regained the lead in the second period but the Brazilian stopper came to their rescue with important saves from Calvert-Lewin and Yerry Mina before Raheem Sterling secured all three points.
When asked for his thoughts on the performance, former Barcelona manager Guardiola replied: "Absolutely outstanding. It's Goodison Park, it's always difficult this stadium.
"We started incredibly well as usual, as normal, and created chances and scored a goal.
"After that, we had a lot of problems to control our left side with Sigurdsson because in that area they had one more player there.
"We had a lot of problems and they played really well for 10-15 minutes.
"In the last five minutes of the first-half we comeback and did well too again."
Guardiola continued: "Then in the second-half, apart from set-pieces and free-kicks and long-balls, we played again good.
"Ederson saved two incredible chances at 2-1 and it was a good game of football.
"We knew Liverpool won again so eight points, the difference was so big and we wanted three points."
