A gruesome new image has shown the after effects of Sadio Mane's challenge on Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson Moraes.

The goalkeeper, 24, was on the end of a studs up tackle from Mane during the 5-0 win over Liverpool on Saturday afternoon.

Mane was sent off for the challenge, that left a brutal gash on the side of Ederson's face.

A photo, which appears to have been taken in the changing room after the Brazil youth international received stitches, has shown the damage caused by Mane's challenge.

One nasty cut is poignant down Ederson's left cheek, while another cut also required stitches close to his eye.

Mane has since apologised for the collision and has wished the goalkeeper well in his recovery.

Meanwhile, Sky Sports pundit Tony Gale has come under criticism after claiming that Ederson should have raised his arm and waved to the crowd as he was being stretchered off the pitch.

The goalkeeper reappeared in the stands before the full-time whistle after receiving his treatment.

He compared the incident to the one that saw Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton taken off this weekend.

"It's interesting, the reaction of the 'keeper, [staying] down for five minutes," Gale said.

"Tom Heaton dislocated his shoulder and is waving to the crowd. Tom's a proper man."

But viewers were unimpressed by the remarks.
