Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has pulled no punches in his verdict on the decision not to award the Magpies a penalty against Manchester City.
Ederson was not penalised for a heavy collision with Ryan Fraser during the comfortable 4-0 victory at St James' Park on Sunday afternoon.
Eddie Howe's side trailed by two goals after 27 minutes, but were denied the chance to halve the deficit when referee Martin Atkinson did not award a penalty.

The incident was reviewed by VAR, but the decision to overrule the on-field call was not taken.
It is the latest controversial decision to go against the Magpies in the space of eight days, with both Leicester City and Liverpool benefitting from questionable calls.
Shearer does not believe a penalty would have changed the outcome of the match, given City's dominance, but branded the decision as 'ridiculous'.
When asked if Newcastle should have had a penalty, he told the BBC: "Do me a favour. I thought it was an absolutely disgusting decision, I think the officials have been awful today.
"They've been awful for a long time now I think, certainly this season. So many terrible decisions, look at the one last week City were given for the handball against Wolves.
"Look at the decision today or the lack of a decision for Newcastle. That is an experienced referee and someone sat on a screen with VAR, and he can not tell that referee that is a howler or an error and he need to go and give a penalty?
"What is going on? It's an awful decision. Not that it'd make any difference to the scoreline, Man City are a fantastic team and deserved to win.
"They were much, much better than Newcastle but that decision was ridiculous."

When asked if it was a wider concern, Shearer added: "Yeah it is. I have no problem with VAR, it's just the people that are running it don't seem to be good enough and haven't been for a good couple of weeks now.
"Some of the decisions I think have been really poor and Mike Riley needs to have a chat to his boys because it's not acceptable."
