FORMER Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson was struck by a missile during a Turkish Super Lig fixture.
He collapsed to the ground, before lashing out at a broadcast camera zooming in to get a close-up angle.
The 32-year-old kept a clean sheet in Fenerbahce‘s 4-0 win over Kayserispor but could face retrospective disciplinary action.
Fenerbahce, who have not won the Turkish league since 2014, trail fierce rivals Galatasaray by one point but have played a game more.
A Galatasaray fan wrote on X: “Ederson hit the broadcaster organisation’s camera, let’s see how many matches’ ban he’ll get, we’re following.”
Others have jumped to Ederson’s defence though, pointing out the camera operator’s opportunism during a delicate moment.
One said: “They’ve thrown a lighter at the guy’s head, the dude (Ederson) did it in a panic for his life.
“The real crime is the cameraman shoving the camera right up his nose.”
A third fan added: “What business does the camera have being that close?”
Ederson won the Premier League six times and Champions League once during his eight seasons with Pep Guardiola.

He won three Premier League golden glove awards and kept 122 clean sheets in 276 league appearances.
He moved to Fenerbahce last summer after Man City prised Gianluigi Donnarumma away from Paris Saint Germain.
