Man City fans want one player sold immediately after shock Club World Cup defeat to Al Hilal

Manchester City fans have been reacting on social media after the Premier League giants' shock defeat against Al Hilal.

On Monday night, City and Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal faced off at the Camping World Stadium in the FIFA Club World Cup round of 16.

It turned out to be a pulsating night of action as the match ended 2-2 after normal time.

Bernardo Silva had given City the lead before Marcos Leonardo and Malcom made it 2-1 to Al Hilal. Erling Haaland then found the equaliser in the 55th minute.

In extra time, Kalidou Koulibaly put Al Hilal back in front before Phil Foden again levelled the match.

Eventually, Leonardo's strike in the 112th minute was enough to seal a dramatic 4-3 win for Simone Inzaghi's men.

As a result, Al Hilal will now take on Fluminense in the quarter final after the Brazilian side shocked Inter Milan by winning 2-0.

Reacting on social media, City fans were less than impressed with the performance of goalkeeper Ederson.

One fan said: "We lost due to Ederson and Poor finishing two things that cost us last year."

Another tweeted: "Ederson If I speak I’m in trouble."

A third fan added: "3 shots on target, 3 goals conceded. Sorry Ederson but I can't defend you anymore."

Someone else wrote: "Ederson hasn’t attempted to save a shot since the treble season I swear."

A fifth commented: "Can’t believe many of us entertained Alisson vs Ederson debates. Proper shameless behaviour."

Another fan said: "Ederson hasn’t made a single save this game, nor has he even tried to. Embarrassing."

Ederson first joined City back in 2017 from Portuguese side Benfica. Since then, the goalkeeper has made 372 appearances for the club.

The Brazilian went on to become one of the best goalkeepers on the planet and is often praised for his world-class distribution skills.

In recent months, doubts have been raised over Ederson's future with clubs in Saudi Arabia reportedly showing interest.

What has Ederson said about his future?

Speaking last week, Ederson confirmed that he will be staying at City.

The 31-year-old said: "My future is here. Some friends send me a lot of news, but 99% is fake news. I understand you guys.

"You need the news to put a like on social media, or rant for the news. I understand, but there's a lot of fake news around my name."

Speaking after the match against Al Hilal, City boss Pep Guardiola said: "We allowed them to create transitions but we created a lot and in general we were good.

"It’s a pity. We were in such a good place and I cannot say thank you enough to the staff, how they train and prepare, they have given everything."

He added: "I have the feeling that the team is doing well but we go home and now time to rest and refresh our mind and come back next season."
