# Manchester City: Fans praise Ederson in response to surprising footage

**After footage emerged online of Manchester City star goalkeeper Ederson potentially being stopped by the police for an unknown reason, [via City Chief](https://twitter.com/city_chief/status/1209517259938566144?s=21), some supporters used the opportunity to jokingly praise the Brazilian for his capabilities as a reason for him being pulled over.**

The video, which showed what looked to be Ederson being stopped by the police in Manchester, has [circulated online](https://twitter.com/city_chief/status/1209517259938566144?s=21) – with supporters offering hilarious theories as to why it could’ve happened.

Ederson, who has been integral to the Sky Blues’ trophy haul in the last two seasons since [signing in the summer of 2017](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40080163), especially taking into account his brilliance in starting play out from the back and his uncanny ability to launch pressing counter-attacks, could be crucial in City’s bid to catch up with[league leaders Liverpool](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table).

Of course, given their huge lead, it’s an uphill task – but Pep Guardiola’s side managed to overturn a points deficit last season.

Here’s how supporters lauded the ‘keeper on Twitter.
