Man City player ratings as Kevin De Bruyne good but Sergio Aguero poor

Ederson

Had to be smart to keep out Maddison's curving free kick, and lucky he got a touch of the ball when pole-axing Iheanacho 6

Kyle Walker

Those surging runs disrupt defences - one of them handed Gundogan a golden chance which he fluffed 7

Fernandinho

Struggled a little with Vardy's pace, but most people do. Still, showed his class and competitiveness throughout 7

Aymeric Laporte

City look so much more secure with him in the back four - three interventions and tackles early on set the tone 8

Benjamin Mendy

Made some big inroads into the right of the Foxes defence, but nobody benefited from some decent deliveries 7

Rodri

Had a real battle to gain midfield control, but managed it with brute force and some clever football 7

Kevin De Bruyne

Superb at times - two sublime backheels created chances for others and he tested Schmeichel to the limit 8

Ilkay Gundogan

Shot weakly when given a great chance in the first half, but his work in midfield is often unappreciated 7

Riyad Mahrez

Stepped up when it mattered, driving from his own half and freeing Jesus for the winner 7

Sergio Aguero

His penalty miss typified his performance, not quite on the button apart from his set-up for Gundogan's miss 5

Bernardo Silva

Tremendous work rate again, popping up everywhere - and he has quality, too. 7

Subs

Nicolas Otamendi

(for Laporte 58) Strong enough 7

Gabriel Jesus

(for Aguero 77) Fine finish 7

Not used: Bravo, Cancelo, Stones, Silva, Foden
