Ederson's choice of socks during the Premier League clash between Crystal Palace and Manchester City caused a stir on social media.
The Brazilian stopper kept a clean sheet as Man City closed the gap on league leaders Arsenal by two points following their hard-fought win at Selhurst Park.
Erling Haaland scored the only goal of the game from the spot to record his 28th league goal from just 26 games.

The Norwegian striker's goal got fans talking online and so did Ederson wearing Palace's away socks for the whole match on Saturday.
He was pictured wearing Palace's away socks before the game, with people on social media then noticing it during the game.
The 29-year-old was forced to wear the white socks because the Man City goalkeeper kit includes blue socks, which would've clashed with Palace's home socks.

Ederson won't have a problem with his attire for his team's next few games as they host the likes of RB Leipzig in the Champions League, Burnley in the FA Cup and Liverpool in the league in the coming weeks.
The Blues, meanwhile, are just two points behind Arsenal, who return to action on Sunday when they travel to Craven Cottage to face Fulham.
