Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson was bombarded with messages from fans after his phone number was leaked before his teamās win at Tottenham on Tuesday night.
The Brazilian shot-stopper posted a screenshot of his messages, which appeared to predominantly be from Arsenal fans doing their best to put him off ahead of their clash at north London rivals Spurs.
āUp the Arsenal,ā read one whereas one well-wisher wrote: āHello you beautiful Brazilian god, how much for a good night tonight?ā
Ederson appeared to have deleted what may have been the fruitier comments sent shortly before the Spurs game, which he posted on social media with the caption: āMy number was leaked, and I had some funny messages.ā
It was a mixed evening for the 30-year-old, who endured the phone number leak before being taken off with a head injury during the second half.
Pep Guardiola confirmed his keeper had suffered from blurred vision before being substituted on doctorās orders for Stefan Ortega, which prompted a frustrated reaction from Ederson on what was the fourth time heād been forced out of a Premier League game this season.
āEderson has a kick in the eye and itās swollen,ā said the Man City boss.
āHe couldnāt see properly. The doctor said I had to replace him. When the doctors say that I donāt have an alternative.
āI understand [Edersonās reaction], he wants to play. I understand.ā
However, City took a huge step towards a fourth straight title by beating Spurs 2-0, courtesy of a second-half double by Erling Haaland.
It remains to be seen if Ederson will be fit for Sundayās final game of the season, at home to West Ham. Victory will secure them the trophy ahead of Arsenal.
