Ederson had a Loris Karius moment against Crystal Palace, goal was controversially disallowed

Ederson had a Loris Karius moment against Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium but was let off the hook after the gaffe.

City found themselves 2-0 down to Patrick Vieira's side, who scored both goals from set pieces in the first half. John Stones put through his own net before Joachim Andersen headed home the second shortly after.

And the visitors had the ball in the net for a third time when Jordan Ayew seized on the error from Ederson.

The Brazilian shotstopper made a save to to deny Cheick Doucouré from distance and he was keen to get City playing quickly as always.

How is this a foul??? Ederson shouldn’t roll the ball out with a bloke in front of him if he doesn’t want it blocked #MCICRY pic.twitter.com/AieFW87zF6

However, Ederson's attempted throw out got a touch off Odsonne Edouard and ended up right in the path of Ayew, who slotted in.

The Ghana international was ready to celebrate but referee Graham Scott blew his whistle and chalked off the goal. City players had stopped to appeal but plenty felt as though the incident was no different to Karim Benzema nicking the ball of Karius in the 2018 Champions League final.

Exactly the same as Karius with Benzema… pic.twitter.com/buteg6FFi6

This is absolutely incredible. Outfield players can’t block roll outs from the goalie? He just supposed to let him roll it wherever he likes? Unreal https://t.co/x64mAAfLtV

Given this was disallowed, I would like to crown Liverpool 2018 European Cup winners https://t.co/KOohdKOmAf

Liverpool basically lost a Champions League final because of this.. but when the same happens to Man City unprovoked of course they get the decision. https://t.co/X3ttZ7LySa

This is pathetic. City always get away weird decisions like this. How on earth is this ever a foul? Should’ve been 3-0 https://t.co/5GSFBOuWtZ

Law 12 in the football rule book states that an indirect free-kick is awarded if "a player prevents the goalkeeper from releasing the ball from the hands, or kicks or attempts to kick the ball, when the goalkeeper is in the process of releasing it."

City have had great difficulty against Palace in recent years but pulled one back after half-time through Bernardo Silva.

Then Erling Haaland scored an incredible 19-minute hat-trick to secure a thrilling 4-2 win for the Premier League champions.

Haaland now leads the Premier League Golden Boot charts with six goals in four games and is averaging a goal every 54 minutes in the English top flight.
