Jose Mourinho’s brutal reaction as Romelu Lukaku is denied by world-class Ederson save

Ederson proved he’s undoubtedly one of the signings of the season with a world-class save to deny Manchester United star Romelu Lukaku in the dying moments of Manchester City’s 2-1 win at Old Trafford.

David Silva and Nicolas Otamendi stole the headlines with their goals either side of the break, but Ederson’s contribution was equally important in Pep Guardiola’s side taking three points back to the Etihad.

While the Brazilian ‘keeper was unable to stop Marcus Rashford’s goal before the break, he somehow managed to prevent Lukaku from finding the net with five minutes remaining of the match.

Anthony Martial found Lukaku with a pinpoint ball from the left flank but the Belgian’s first-time shot was brilliantly saved by Ederson.

Mourinho’s reaction to Lukaku’s effort summed up the Red Devils’ afternoon at Old Trafford.

You’ve got to feel for Lukaku…

Asked about Lukaku’s effort, Sky Sports pundit Thierry Henry said: ‘Listen, I’ve been there, you’re waiting for that opportunity.

‘At 85 minutes you have to stay focused. As much as a great save it was, he has to hit the back of the net.

‘I feel sorry for him because that is what people are going to talk about tomorrow.’
