Player Ratings

ADAM CRAFTON at Wembley Stadium MAN CITY 75.5 (4-3-3) TEAM AVERAGE 6.9

TOTTENHAM 64 (4-2-3-1) TEAM AVERAGE 5.8

HUGO LLORIS 6.5 Terrific save to deny Mahrez a second but poor kick led to City chance from free-kick in second half.

KIERAN TRIPPIER 5 Misjudged header let Sterling in and City man then left him for dead for the goal.

TOBY ALDERWEIRELD 6 Never at ease in dealing with the movement and invention of Aguero and City’s midfield runners.

DAVINSON SANCHEZ 6 Finding it harder this term after superb debut season. Not developed bond wth Alderweireld.

BEN DAVIES 5.5 Beaten to the punch by Mahrez for the goal but later his superb block denied Sterling.

MOUSSA SISSOKO 6.5 Surprise pick but started at high intensity and made presence felt in midfield.

ERIC DIER 6 Had his hands full attempting to cope with City’s brilliant Silva double act in midfield.

MOUSA DEMBELE 5.5 Age and injuries took their toll in the big games last season. Pattern repeated itself here.

ERIK LAMELA 6 Plays with intensity these days but did not offer the end product that Alli and Eriksen usually provide.

LUCAS MOURA 5.5 Influence has faded in recent weeks and struggled here. Booked for a pathetic dive.

HARRY KANE 5.5 First touch let him down when bearing in on Ederson. Came close with a long-range effort too.

SUBSTITUTES Winks 6 (for Dier 67mins), Alli 6 (for Dembele 75), Eriksen (for Lucas 81). Not used: Gazzaniga, Son, Walker-Peters, Aurier.

MAURICIO POCHETTINO 6 Hamstrung by injuries but his team still start big games so sluggishly.

EDERSON 7.5 Huge kick launched City’s attack for the early goal and he commanded his box with authority.

KYLE WALKER 6 Worked up on his return to former club. Kicked advertising hoardings and laid into Aguero.

JOHN STONES 7 Calming presence. Has nailed down starting place after difficult end to last season.

AYMERIC LAPORTE 7 Had the better of Kane and partnership with Stones may become a bedrock for City.

BENJAMIN MENDY 5.5 Spared by Tottenham’s wastefulness after two poor lapses of concentration.

FERNANDINHO 6.5 Usual array of smart fouls to break up play and assured passing at the base of the City midfield.

BERNARDO SILVA 7.5 The biggest compliment is City could afford to start Kevin De Bruyne on the bench as Silva shone.

DAVID SILVA 8 The litle Spaniard was at his best, dictating the midfield for long periods of the match.

RAHEEM STERLING 7 Super pace and trickery to deceive Trippier for City’s opening goal and denied second by a block.

SERGIO AGUERO 6 Not at his most dangerous and very few clear sights of goal, much like his recent outing at Anfield.

RIYAD MAHREZ 7.5 Showed character and quality to respond to penalty miss at Anfield by netting here.

SUBSTITUTES De Bruyne 5.5 (for Aguero 71), Kompany (for D Silva 89), Jesus (for Mahrez 90). Not used: Muric, Sane, Otamendi, Foden.

PEP GUARDIOLA 7.5 Top of the league despite missing De Bruyne for much of the season.

REFEREE KEVIN FRIEND 6.5 Nothing for either manager to complain about. Let game flow well.
