Man City goalkeeper Ederson wore Crystal Palace socks for tonight's game
Ederson's choice of socks during the Premier League clash between Crystal Palace and Manchester City caused a stir on social media.
The Brazilian stopper kept a clean sheet as Man City closed the gap on league leaders Arsenal by two points following their hard-fought win at Selhurst Park.
Erling Haaland scored the only goal of the game from the spot to record his 28th league goal from just 26 games.
The Norwegian striker's goal got fans talking online and so did Ederson wearing Palace's away socks for the whole match on Saturday.

He was pictured wearing Palace's away socks before the game, with people on social media then noticing it during the game.
The 29-year-old was forced to wear the white socks because the Man City goalkeeper kit includes blue socks, which would've clashed with Palace's home socks.
Ederson sporting Palace's away socks didn't go unnoticed by fans on social media.
One Twitter user joked: "Sunday League at its finest."
A second questioned: "I’m pretty sure Ederson is wearing Palace socks... anyone agree?"
A third said: "Ederson wearing palaces away socks?"
A Palace fan mocked his own side, tweeting: "The closest we’ve been to winning a game in 2023."
A Man City fan commented: "He’s always playing against us tbf."
Another wrote: "Has Ederson borrowed somebody’s socks."
