Rodri Reveals Why He Ignored Ederson's Penalty Advice

Rodri Reveals Why He Ignored Ederson's Penalty Advice

Manchester City star Rodri has revealed why he ignored Ederson's advice on how to beat Hugo Lloris from the penalty spot.

The Citizens opened a seven-point lead at the summit of the Premier League table with a 3-0 thrashing of Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday night.

After City's struggles from the penalty spot this season, it was Rodri's turn to step and he managed to convert, eventhough Lloris got a touch to the spot-kick.

"Goalkeepers know each other, Ederson told me some points about Lloris, I didn't listen! I was confident in shooting in the way I did," Rodri told Sky Sports.

"I was a bit angry in the last weeks because we missed many penalties, much more than we expected to, and in big games you have to score penalties.

"I was angry, I told my team-mates in the week that the next time we have a penalty I'll grab the ball and no one will take it away from me. Fortunately, I scored but the win is the most important thing."
