Ederson trolled Arsenal fans at the Etihad Stadium during their 4-1 defeat to Manchester City on Wednesday evening.
City ran out comfortable winners over their title rivals as Kevin De Bruyne scored twice, while John Stones and Erling Haaland were also on target.
The victory puts Pep Guardiola’s side two points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal, although the reigning champions, who have not lost in their last 17 matches in all competitions, still have two games in hand.
Meanwhile, Arsenal appear resigned to settling for second place, which would be their highest finish in the Premier League since 2016.
But Ederson took the opportunity to mock Arsenal’s supporters as he turned to the away end at the Etihad Stadium and pretended to cry in the closing stages of Wednesday’s game.
Speaking after City’s win, Guardiola claimed for the first time that his side are now in control of the the Premier League title race.
‘It’s in our hands. I’d love to have six points from these two games [in hand], but we have to win them,’ said Guardiola.
‘Until today, I prefer the position in the Premier League from Arsenal but now it is in our destiny.
‘I have the feeling the next three games will dictate a lot. We have Fulham, and what Marco Silva has done this season coming from the Championship has been amazing.
‘After, we have two games at home. I don’t want to anticipate because it’s not healthy but at home this season we feel comfortable with the crowd. I think the next three games will be really important but of course the most important thing is our destiny is in our hands.’
