Man City star Ederson taunts ‘crying’ Arsenal fans during thrashing

Guardiola gives verdict on Man City's win over Arsenal

Ederson was spotted mocking Arsenal fans as Manchester City destroyed their Premier League title rivals on Wednesday night. The Etihad Stadium hosted a 4-1 masterclass from Pep Guardiola’s defending champions, and Ederson revelled in the triumph by riling up the away support.

Arsenal fans will have been dreading the long journey home after suffering a mauling at the hands of City.

And Ederson’s late antics would’ve only made matters worse, leaving the away section fuming as he grinned with his tongue out while gesturing with his hands as if wiping away tears.

The home faithful roared Ederson on as he smiled and walked back into his goal, knowing City’s job was done in their pursuit of the treble.

The Brazilian suffered a late blow to his Premier League Golden Glove hopes as Rob Holding fired in a consolation strike for the visitors.

But that didn’t stop him from enjoying the celebrations at full-time after City proved ruthlessly that the title hunt may have been a one-horse race all along.

Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland stole the show at the Etihad, working together to destroy an Arsenal defence weakened by William Saliba’s continued absence.

De Bruyne netted a brace and provided the assist for John Stones’ headed goal, while Haaland set up two goals and scored one of his own late on.

It ended a decisive night on another high note, with the Norwegian’s 33rd Premier League strike of the season breaking Mohamed Salah’s record.
