MANCHESTER CITY’S goalkeeper Ederson was spotted being “grim” on the bench as he picked his nose and spat on the floor live on TV.
In today’s 4-2 victory for City against Crystal Palace, the shot-stopper returned to the teamsheet after hobbling off injured during their clash against Liverpool.
Stefan Ortega has been deputising the absence of the Brazillian as he recovers from his blow last month.
Today marked Ederson’s return as he was spotted on Pep Guardiola’s bench at Selhurst Park.
But Ortega has been flourishing in the limelight as he performed impressive footwork against Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta to deny him the chance of scoring.
Meanwhile, Ederson was seen getting up to all sorts in the dugout during the game, as the TNT Sports cameraman panned to the 30-year-old who appeared to pick his nose.

The camera then decided to flick back to him moments later and he was caught spitting on the floor.
Co-commentator Lucy Ward said: “He’s picked his nose and spat the two times we have shown him. So we are not showing him again.”
Fans also immediately noticed the ex-Benfica star and took to Twitter to slam the keeper’s manners.

Another added: “The timing on these ederson snips are insane.”
A third then hilariously compared the two keepers: “Ortega with a filthy Cruyff turn, camera cuts to Ederson picking his nose.”
Then a very angry fan said: “Wtf is wrong with Ederson? Every time the camera cuts to him, he is either picking his nose or spitting on the ground?”
While a fifth fan joked: “Camera’s panned to Ederson twice – once he’s picking his bogeys and then spits out a huge grog.”
City secured a crucial win which sits seem currently second in the table with Liverpool ahead only on goal difference going into their clash against Manchester United.
Guardiola’s squad have seven games left of the season and will next to be on top form to win all of their matches to win a historic fourth consecutive league title.
