If you didn't manage to catch Saturday afternoon's early kick-off between Manchester City and Liverpool, then you missed quite the eventful game at the Etihad.

Two goals from Gabriel Jesus, another brace from Leroy Sane and a cool finish from Sergio Aguero gave Pep Guardiola's side an important win.

But one incident in particular was the biggest talking point, both during and after the 5-0 drubbing.

Sadio Mane was sent for an early bath when his dangerously high boot caught Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson in the face.

Was it intentional? I highly doubt it, but many believed John Moss' decision to send the winger off was the right one.

Shortly after the final whistle blew, Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy, a.k.a 'the king of Twitter', uploaded a picture of Ederson looking worse for wear after Mane's challenge.

Mendy then replied to a fan who suggested that Mane hit him on the other side of his face.

"Bro, that's just reversed" Mendy said, followed by a ton of hashtags that only the France international could get away with.

It was an incident that many disagreed on, but we wish Ederson all the best in his recovery.

Although many thought it was a red, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was adamant that John Moss' decision to send off Mane this afternoon was unjust.

Moments after the incident, the German responded to a Manchester City fan in the crowd who gestured that Mane had actually dived by taking off his glasses and offering them to that fan.

You can't help but love this man's brilliant sense of humour:
