Fans can’t believe it as Man City keeper Ederson gets away with brutal flying ‘kung fu kick’.. and Timo Werner is booked
MANCHESTER CITY keeper Ederson escaped penalisation for a “kung fu kick” which somehow saw Timo Werner booked.
The Brazilian rushed out of his box and appeared to take out forward Konrad Laimer.
But referee Slavko Vincic actually booked the RB Leipzig’s Timo Werner for contesting the decision, leaving Ederson to avoid any punishment.
And fans could not believe their eyes as a VAR check also saw the stopper go without caution.
One said: “Absolutely mental that Ederson didn’t get booked there let alone concede a free kick. Terrible ref.”
Another added: “Swear to god Casemiro gets sent off for breathing but ederson can kung-fu kick someone and get a free kick.”
One joked: Ederson didn’t touch the ball at all and just completely wiped out Laimer who was through.
“Who gets a card? Timo Werner for complaining. Who gets a free kick? Man City. This s*** is disgusting.”
Another said: “Ederson just kicks someone on the field and gets away with it…”
City opened the scoring in controversial style after being awarded a dubious penalty for handball.

Following a corner, Rodri headed the ball onto Benjamin Henrichs’s arm and after a VAR check Vincic pointed to the spot.
Erling Haaland made no mistake from 12 yards on 22 minutes and then doubled his tally just moments later.
City then went into the break 3-0 up when Haaland scored a first-half hat-trick in added time.
