Man City player ratings as Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling deflate Chelsea

Ederson Great save from Lukaku early in the second half earned his corn in a rare Chelsea attack - 7

Kyle Walker Started with an error but got better and better - his burn-off of Ziyech was spectacular - 7

John Stones Stumbled to hand Chelsea their best chance but his head stayed up and he defended superbly - 7

Aymeric Laporte Perfect foil for Stones, and his solid defending was garnished by some intelligent passing - 7

Joao Cancelo Athletic defending was enough, but he was at his best purring forward, playing one-twos - 8

Rodri Enhanced his reputation as one of City's best this season by putting his stamp on the midfield - 8

Kevin De Bruyne His work rate and pressing had been excellent, and he capped that with a top-quality goal - 8

Bernardo Silva Usual blend of tireless efficiency and moments of sumptuous skill to keep Chelsea on the back-foot - 7

Raheem Sterling Forced Chelsea to double up on his side as he ran Alonso ragged with dagger thrusts at Chelsea's heart - 8

Phil Foden Not his best game, but he occupied the centre backs, worked his socks off and remained a menace - 7

Jack Grealish His first-half miss was a shame as he did most things right and stretched Chelsea perfectly - 7
