CITY RATED

ZACK STEFFEN

Started well but was fortunate that Laporte stayed calm when he flew out of his goal and missed a clearance.

KYLE WALKER

Intelligent showing to keep his flank quiet. Was happier when Mahrez came on to take up the space in front of him.

RUBEN DIAS

Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin are really tough to play against. Dias made sure City’s lack of pace wasn’t exposed.

AYMERIC LAPORTE

He wasn’t always comfortable but he was good enough on a difficult evening and had a surprise role in the goal.

ALEKS ZINCHENKO

An important header away from danger in the first half when Richarlison’s header glanced towards goal.

FERNANDINHO

A clinic in how to boss a game from the base of midfield, reading every move Everton made while also going forward.

ILKAY GUNDOGAN

His radar was a bit off for much of the game, but was in the right place when it mattered though.

BERNARDO SILVA

A few promising moments on the right flank but struggled to weave a way through the Everton defence.

RAHEEM STERLING

He looked sharper than anyone on his first start since the derby and caused Everton lots of problems.

PHIL FODEN

Too honest for his own good again with the first-half penalty incident but one of the players that troubled Everton.

GABRIEL JESUS

Excellent at winning the ball back, but unfortunately kept giving it away in the first place.
