Man City midfielder Gundogan: Ederson allowed to make mistakes

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has defended Ederson after his error-ridden derby performance.

The goalkeeper was at fault for both of Manchester United's goals on Sunday.

Gundogan said: "It's normal. At the end, you are a human being. Even though we are at the top level, we all make mistakes. They are part of the game.

"Eddy has been crucial in so many games for us, and he is allowed to make mistakes. Unfortunately this time they were punished, very crucially for us.

"We win together and lose together. That's why we play football, that's why we're a team. He will deal with that situation very well. He's angry, disappointed and frustrated, but it's always about how you get out of it. He has all of our support and I'm sure he will do much better in the next games."
