In the 76th minute of Manchester City’s tie against Leicester, James Maddison made it 4-1 to the Foxes with a brilliant strike.
The attacking midfielder drifted in from the left-wing before curling the ball into the top corner with a superb strike that Ederson had no absolutely no chance of stopping.
The 23-year-old showed his class with a heartwarming celebration, the ace ran to the sidelines to pick up and display a t-shirt of former Leicester doctor Stuart Birtwistle, who sadly passed away this summer after a long battle with cancer.
Take a look at the England international’s effort below:
