Ederson
His biggest problem was keeping warm, just some standard work with his feet to perform. Dived right way for penalty. 6
Joao Cancelo
His storming runs down the right were very effective - a real challenge to Walker now. 8
John Stones
Looked like the Rolls Royce defender City bought - quick, smart and decisive, with a hint of steel. 8
Fernandinho
Eased through an hour, applying his supreme powers of anticipation and timing to ensure Villa were liimited. 7
Benjamin Mendy
Gave City a threat down the left, and mixed up his crosses well - he was sound at the back, too. 7
Rodri
Provided the solid foundation for all the decorative work ahead of him - physically dominant, passing perfect. 8
Kevin De Bruyne
Absolutely unstoppable, creating goals and chances at will - his substitution was an act of mercy as much as a rotation. 9
David Silva
Found acres of space and utilised it brilliantly - the recent injury break has done him plenty of good, much sharper. 8
Riyad Mahrez
Kicked it all off with two goals, the first a cracker, and kept his standard high throughout. 9
Sergio Aguero
Three more classic Kun goals took him to 249 for the Blues, but his all-round approach work was also terrific. 10
Gabriel Jesus
Quiet until he popped up to score the fourth goal, and then he started to ravage the Villa right flank. 7
Subs
Nicolas Otamendi
(for Fernandinho 63) Easy minutes. 6
Phil Foden
(for De Bruyne 63) Easy does it. 6
Ilkay Gundogan
(for Rodri 71) Joined the carnage. 7
Not used: Bravo, Walker, Sterling, Bernardo
