Zack Steffen
Had to be alert to sweep up as Barkhuizen threatened and on a couple more occasions - not a bad return after 24 hours - 7
Joao Cancelo
One of the livelier City players, linking well with Mahrez and always seeking those arcing passes to front runners - 7
Ruben Dias
Just a day after his return, the big man was asked to go again, and he eased his way back in with no real alarms - 6
Nathan Ake
Comfortable knocking the ball around his own box, another who was rushed into action after hardly any training - 6
Benjamin Mendy
Couple of headless moments early on, but his run and cushioned header to tee up Palmer was class and deserved a finish - 6
Fernandinho
Eased straight back in, striding around midfield like he owns it, sliding and lobbing passes into the front men at will - 8
Iker Pozo
Bustled off the ball the first time he was given it, and he disappeared from view for long periods after that - 5
Cole Palmer
Great work to earn the free kick for the opening goal, but how he blazed a simple chance over from Mendy's nod-down is anyone-guess! - 6
Riyad Mahrez
The outstanding player on show, bending a brilliant free kick and creating the sitter that Palmer missed - 8
Ben Knight
Found it tough against big, strong centre backs but kept making the runs and testing the defence - 6
Morgan Rogers
Looked like a player who has hardly kicked a ball in earnest for a week - his touch was off early on and that affected him - 5
Subs
Claudio Gomes
(ht) Grew into the game as Fernandinho's replacement - 7
Philippe Sandler
(ht) Slotted in neatly as the youngsters turned the screw - 7
Matt Smith
(ht) Looked sharp as the link man - 7
Sam Edozie
(ht) Took his goal very well - 7
Luke Bolton
(ht) Asked to play left back and stuck to it - 6
Patrick Roberts
(ht) Didn't make the most of a showcase opportunity - 5
Yan Couto
(ht) Looked neat and effective at right back - 7
Pablo Moreno
(ht) Technically correct but needed more of a goal threat in striker role - 6
James McAtee
(ht) Lovely disguised pass to set up Edozie - 7
Finlay Burns
(ht) Under-18 newcomer unfazed by the step-up - 7
Ciaran Slicker
(65 mins) Stretchered off after falling awkwardly - no mark
