Ederson mind games against Bukayo Saka flopped as Arsenal star made him look a "mug"

Arsenal may have lost the Premier League top-of-the-table clash, but Bukayo Saka still made Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson look like a "mug."

The Gunners star, 21, showed ice-cool nerves during Arsenal's 3-1 bruising defeat to slot home a first-half equaliser from the penalty spot, after City had taken an early lead through Kevin De Bruyne. Ederson did his best to put Saka off with some mind games, as the England international patiently waited for City's protests over referee Anthony Taylor 's hotly-debated decision to come to an end.

As Saka placed the way ball down 12 yards from goal, the Brazilian 'keeper shuffled across his line in an attempt to taunt the 21-year-old into shooting to his right. The confident Ederson continually pointed that way and left the other side open until Saka began his run-up.
