Manchester City vs West Ham player ratings: Raheem Sterling's brace seals win but who impressed at the Etihad?

Pep Guardiola's side produced a sparkling display, particularly in the first half

Raheem Sterling struck twice as Pep Guardiola's winning start as Manchester City boss continued with a hard-fought 3-1 win over West Ham.

Sterling's first after seven minutes and another from Fernandinho soon after appeared to put a dominant City on course for a huge victory at the Etihad Stadium.

But the hosts were unable to maintain their scintillating early pace and Michail Antonio's 58th-minute reply set up a tense finish until Sterling rolled in his second in injury time.

City's victory sets up a mouth-watering derby against Manchester United next month, although Sergio Aguero could face disciplinary trouble after an apparent elbow on Winston Reid went unpunished.

How did we rate each player in the comprehensive, if not always commanding win for Guardiola's side?
