Man City player ratings as Fernandinho brilliant but Gundogan and Zinchenko flop

Ederson

Couple of mad rushes out of his box, but he made the ball this time - had no chance with the goals 6

Kyle Walker

Couple of basic defensive mistakes spoiled what had been a decent return to his former club 5

Fernandinho

Was head and shoulder City's best player on his 300th appearance for the club, let down by teammates 8

Nicolas Otamendi

Was doing OK until he came up with another puzzling dart out of the defensive line to give Son the space he needed to score 5

Aleks Zinchenko

No real need to risk the second yellow card, on halfway, and his claims of a shoulder charge were optimistic - nowhere near the ball. 4

Rodri

Made sure City had the majority of the possession and was a good shield for the back four - until the final half-hour 6

Kevin De Bruyne

Couldn't produce any real moments of magic and his inexhaustible work rate was all in vain 6

Ilkay Gundogan

Had been City's second best player until he dollied his penalty at Lloris - and then his game went to pot 4

Riyad Mahrez

Started brilliantly, his touch and running causing problems, but it faded badly and his poor corner led to the red card 4

Sergio Aguero

Fluffed a couple of first half chances, hit the post, earned a penalty, an then sacrificed after the red card. 6

Raheem Sterling

An improvement on recent performances, but the reflexes not as sharp as normal - and that could have brought him a red card 6

Subs

Joao Cancelo

(for Aguero  65) couldn't change it 6

Gabriel Jesus

(for Mahrez 73) no heroics 6

Bernardo Silva

(for Sterling 84) no time to mark

Not used: Bravo, Garcia, D. Silva, Foden
