Stuart Brennan

Man City player ratings as Phil Foden, Tommy Doyle and Liam Delap shine

Zack Steffen

Sharp piece of sweeping to deny Surridge - 6

Kyle Walker

Senior player in the side organised defence and tried to prompt the attack - 7

Taylor Harwood-Bellis

Couple of tricky moments against Sturridge but stuck at it and made two important interceptions - 6

Eric Garcia

Ran the risk of a yellow card with some vigorous tackling but got better as the game progressed - 6

Adrian Bernabe

Nothing went right - misplaced passes, missed a tackle for the equaliser and then got injured - 4

Tommy Doyle

Superb first half, hardly putting a pass wrong and showing all the aggression of Grandad Mike - 7

Tommy Doyle (Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images)

Rodri

Played for an hour in a pre-planned move - kept the ball moving and the choke-hold tight - 7

Phil Foden

Great assist for Delap, scored the winner and was constantly taking chunks out of the defence - 8

Riyad Mahrez

Didn't suit the narrow role in the first half, but got shot-happy in the second - 5

Liam Delap

Fantastic finish on his debut - and he was totally unfazed at making the step up - 7

Ferran Torres

Another who did not look comfortable playing inside, but the game passed him by when wide - 5

Subs

Benjamin Mendy

(for Bernabe 36) City need more - 5

Kevin De Bruyne

(for Rodri 60)

Raheem Sterling

(for Doyle 67)

Not used: Carson, Ake, Nmecha, Palmer
