New footage has emerged showing Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson appearing to be out cold following a collision with Tottenham's Cristian Romero before being substituted by Pep Guardiola during Man City's 2-0 win on Tuesday night. The incident occurred in the second half, and despite initial attempts to continue playing, Ederson was eventually withdrawn from the match.

The footage, shared on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), shows Ederson lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious, as players from both teams urgently signaled for medical assistance. Despite appearing groggy when he returned to his feet, Ederson was allowed to play on for several minutes before Guardiola decided to replace him with backup goalkeeper Stefan Ortega. This decision led to a visibly frustrated Ederson storming off the pitch.

Pep Guardiola later defended the club's handling of the situation, insisting that Ederson did not suffer a concussion but rather an eye injury from the collision, which saw Romero receive a booking. However, leading brain injury association Headway criticized Man City's response, arguing that the player's condition warranted immediate substitution under concussion protocols.

Headway's chief executive, Luke Griggs, emphasized the principle of "If in doubt, sit it out," and expressed concern over the delayed decision to remove Ederson from the game. He stated that the situation highlighted the need for temporary concussion substitutes to better protect players' health.

Despite Ederson's frustration, Ortega's performance was instrumental in securing the win for Man City, including a crucial save to deny Tottenham's Son Heung-min an equalizer. This match leaves Man City with a two-point lead over Arsenal heading into the final game of the Premier League season.

In a lighter moment following the match, Ederson revealed he received humorous messages from Arsenal fans after his phone number was leaked, adding an unexpected twist to the post-match narrative. Man City will face West Ham at the Etihad Stadium in their final match, with the Premier League title still within their grasp.
