Ederson
No chance with the penalty, and just had a couple more standard saves to make - and the obligatory 70-yard pass of course. 7
Kyle Walker
There was alarming acreage of space behind him when Atalanta countered, and his attacking contribution did not warrant that concession. 6
Fernandinho
Does not look comfortable in those situations, and that was his third penalty give-away in a year, needs to improve that record. 5
Rodri
Not as comfortable as Saturday, but was doing OK before he pulled up with a hamstring problem. 6
Benjamin Mendy
Got forward well and whipped in a couple of dangerous crosses, but was happy to let Sterling cause all the havoc on the left. 6
Ilkay Gundogan
Great pass for Sterling's second goal, and had his moments - but he needs to be quicker back to perform defensive duties. 7
Kevin De Bruyne
Not quite at his best, but had a big hand in the penalty award and did brilliantly to create the opening for Sterling's first. 7
Phil Foden
The red card was ridiculous, and should not taint a performance of ingenuity, athleticism and invention from the yougnster. He's coming of age. 8
Riyad Mahrez
Quiet for long spells, and kept spurning obvious passes - until he freed De Bruyne for the third goal and then superbly set up Sterling's hat-trick strike. 7
Sergio Aguero
Two more goals without ever truly extending himself - in fact, he should have had a couple more! 7
Raheem Sterling
Assisted the first, won the penalty for the second and then took the game away from Atalanta with a hat-trick. Unplayable. 10
Subs
John Stones
(for Rodri 41) Gave defence substance. 7
Nicolas Otamendi
(for De Bruyne 61) No alarms this time. 6
Cancelo
(for Mendy 71) A cameo role for the summer signing. 5
Not used: Bravo, D. Silva, Bernardo, Jesus.
