Raheem Sterling scores City's opening goal (Reuters)

Manchester City

Ederson - 6: Had very little to do. Accidentally bundled into Eric Garcia.

Kyle Walker - 6: Offered width and occupied Bacary Saka.

Eric Garcia - 7: Put in a composed performance before suffering a nasty-looking injury.

America Laporte - 7: Played well before being substituted.

Benjamin Mendy - 7: Several forays down the left.

David Silva - 8: Supreme on the ball before being replaced in the second half.

Kevin De Bruyne - 8: Scored one from the spot and picked up yet another assist.

Ilkay Gundogan - 7: A commanding performance in midfield.

Riyad Marrez - 7: Constantly probing by cutting in from the right side.

Raheem Sterling - 8: Scored City's opener with a fiercely struck shot on the bounce.

Gabriel Jesus - 6: A quiet game for the Brazilian leading the line.

Subs

Fernandinho - 6: Typically solid at the back, if unspectacular. Rarely tested.

Rodri - 6: Kept it simple after coming off the bench.

David Silva - 7: Looked typically supreme on the ball in cameo.

Sergio Aguero - 6: Did not manage to create a clear opening for himself.

Arsenal

Bernd Leno - 7: Kept Arsenal in the game at 0-0 and made a series of smart stops, notably to deny De Bruyne’s fine free-kick

Hector Bellerin - 5: Coped better on his side than Tierney but unable to influence the game going forward as Arsenal retreated.

Shkodran Mustafa - 5: Looked solid in comparison to his calamitous partners.

Pablo Mari - 3: Made a horrific challenge on Sterling before injury forced him off.

Kieran Tierney - 4: Struggled to cope as City found space in behind him.

Granit Xhaka - n/a: Picked up an injury inside five minutes before coming off.

Matteo Guendouzi - 5: Roamed across the base of the midfield in hope of sparking something but lacked consistency with his passing.

Joe Willock - 5: A tough evening with City’s midfield outclassing Arsenal’s and leaving Willock chasing for most of the game.

Bukayo Saka - 5: Unable to get on the ball enough to influence the game but kept his position to offer the Gunners an outlet.

Edward Nketiah - 5: Mistimed his run as City stepped up and squandered a great chance.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - 5: Unable to inspire a hapless Gunners with his future looking increasingly uncertain.

Subs

David Luiz - 1: Terrible attempt at a clearance allowed Sterling’s opener, then a foul on Mahrez to concede a penalty and earn a red card. A disaster.

Dani Ceballos - 5: Came on cold to help fill in for Xhaka but was overwhelmed by City’s class.
