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 last weekend.

Shortly after the final whistle blew, Manchester City teammate Benjamin Mendy uploaded a picture of Ederson looking worse for wear after Mane's dangerously high challenge.
For many, it was definite proof that Mane deserved a red card.
It was an incident that brought plenty of discussion, as Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher lead the arguments, but many agreed that referee John Moss made the right decision to give Mane red.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, however, was adamant that John Moss' decision to send off Mane on Saturday afternoon, describing the red shown as "very unlucky."
Maybe this latest picture of Ederson, three days after the high tackle went down, will change his mind.
To be fair, Sadio Mane did the decent thing and reached out to the Manchester City goalkeeper, posting the following message on his Instagram:

"I hope and wish Ederson a quick recovery. I am so sorry he was hurt during our accidental collision on the pitch and am sorry for him that he could not complete the match because of it. I pray he heals fast and is back playing very soon because he is highest quality player."
Nice one, Sadio. Thoughts on the challenge? Was it a red card or not?
Let us know.
