Man City player ratings vs Manchester United: Bernardo and Fernandinho brilliant

Claudio Bravo

No clean sheet again, despite very little pressure, but his kicking and passing were very good. 7

Kyle Walker

Claimed an assist for Bernardo, and his power and pace were a key weapon for City, offensively and defensively. 7

Nicolas Otamendi

Still found it impossible to deal with fast players, but this was more his kind of game, and he was strong when needed. 6

Fernandinho

Took it upon himself to lead the resistance, and we lost count of the times he stepped in, found the header or came away with the ball. 9

Benjamin Mendy

Had a stinker of a first half, when he was arguably United's best player - better after the break, when on front foot. 5

Rodri

Crucial to everything City did, with his own brand of muscular elegance and metronomic passing. 8

Kevin De Bruyne

Didn't always look at ease in advanced role, but still forced third goal and defended superbly from the front. 7

Ilkay Gundogan

Kept City moving forward with a smooth, suave performance that complemented Rodri perfectly. 7

Riyad Mahrez

Did superbly for his goal, hit the post in the second half but with United wide open he might have had a field day. 7

Raheem Sterling

Hugging the touchline gave City the gaps they needed down the middle, and occupied Wan-Bissaka, but not great. 5

Bernardo Silva

His goal was a stunner, but his pass for Mahrez to score the second was even better. Back to his best - at last. 9

Subs

Gabriel Jesus

(for De Bruyne 79) A late came for the benched striker. 6

Phil Foden

(for Mahrez 87)

Not used: Ederson, Aguero, D. Silva, Cancelo, Garcia
