Ederson No real saves to make despite Saints' bright opening to both half, just had to stay secure - 6
Kyle Walker survived the red card and penalty scare but the whole thing was down to his error - 5
Ruben Dias Some solid defending as Saints presented plenty of testing challenges - aerially dominant, strong in tackle - 7
Nathan Ake deserves great credit to play after his sad bereavement, and produced two vital tackles - 7
Joao Cancelo Dashing sight as he sprinted forward, but also came up with some very solid defensive work - 7
Fernandinho Produced a couple of top-class passes but was guilty of too many basic errors after that - 5
Ilkay Gundogan Effectively snuffed for long spells by a hardworking Saints midfield, but twice close to scoring - 6
Bernardo Silva Just needed another few inches on that diminutive frame to get on the end of a Jesus cross - 7
Gabriel Jesus Had some bright moments in the first half as City opened up both flanks but one woeful shot sealed his fate - 6
Raheem Sterling 200th City appearance in Premier League, and he found it tough in a central role - 5
Jack Grealish Gave the Saints' right flank a torrid time in the first half, opening them up at will. Best so far for City - 8
