During Wednesday's crucial Premier League match, Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson tried to add salt to Arsenal's wounds by making fun of the visiting Gunners supporters.
City prevailed decisively in a match that may likely determine the season's champion, winning 4-1 to close the gap on Arsenal to just two points despite having played two fewer games.
Arsenal supporters can't help but be disappointed by the outcome, but Ederson was clearly enjoying it.
During the game, Ederson was observed making fun of the supporters who were 'weeping' behind his goal for the outcome, which caught the attention of some City supporters who were applauding and who urged him to continue.
Ederson dutifully complied, sticking out his tongue towards the Arsenal fans before turning around and continuing the game.
Ederson had a memorable evening because Pep Guardiola was so enraged by his goalkeeper's sluggish start to the game that he chose to criticize him rather than celebrate City's first goal.
Brazilian player was taken to the sidelines for a public reprimand from Guardiola, who seemed to be urging him to play faster when in possession of the ball. After the talk, the Brazilian's play significantly improved.
In the end, Rob Holding's late goal prevented Ederson from recording his 11th clean sheet of the Premier League season, moving him into a tie for sixth place in the Golden Glove standings.
Emiliano Martinez and Alisson both sit ahead of Ederson on 11, while David de Gea is now in first place with 14. He is one goal ahead of Nick Pope of Newcastle and two goals ahead of Aaron Ramsdale of Arsenal.
Before Theo Walcott scored against his former team and Gabriel Martinelli made it 2-1, Carlos Alcaraz scored in the opening minute. Ruben Selles' team appeared to have all three points after Duje Caleta-Car's attempt, but late goals from Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka cost Arsenal a point.
