Manchester City shot stopper Ederson has dismissed the idea that Erling Haaland scores easy goals.
The Norway striker is in red hot form this season, netting 32 in 31 games for his new club.
Some detractors point out that many of his goals are tap ins, but Ederson vehemently disagrees.
Speaking to UEFA, Ederson said: "Many people say most of the goals he scores are easy but that is a lie. It's his positioning that's his best ability.
"He doesn't score easy goals; he positions himself very well. I hope he continues to score many goals, making us happy and we'll keep working together for all the titles."
"When [Haaland] arrived, we said he was going to score a lot and that's been happening," Ederson added.
"He is a brilliant goalscorer, he always looks to score and help the team. He is the striker we needed because in comparison to Gabriel [Jesus], they are different players: Gabi likes to come in from out wide, he is stronger and more versatile; Haaland plays more centrally, looking to get into the box, he is a target in the area.
"That has been the major difference. When you get into the final third you have someone who will always be in the area."
