Man City player ratings vs Manchester United: Raheem Sterling poor and Riyad Mahrez sloppy

Claudio Bravo

Had no chance with the goal, although someone will, no doubt, blame him. Had very little else to do. 6

Kyle Walker

Thunderous shot had "equaliser" written all over it but a startled De Gea parried. Defensively sound vs Martial. 7

Nicolas Otamendi

Enjoyed the blood and thunder of a more derby, and he got his tackles and headers just about right. 7

Joao Cancelo

Only a Guardiola team could feature a left-sided centre back who leads fast raids down the right flank! 7

Rodri

Found the frenetic pace a little disorientating at times, but he ensured City had the lion's share of possession. 7

Ilkay Gundogan

Great chipped pass for Aguero's diving header and some excellent passing - but messed up a great chance. 6

Kevin De Bruyne

Strangely quiet as United paid him close attention, but pulled off some of the more significant passes. 7

Bernardo Silva

A madcap performance, racing around, making tackles, battling with much bigger men - and adding dashes of quality 7

Riyad Mahrez

Decent first half dissolved in the high tempo and hurly-burly of a typical derby, and he paid for giving the ball away repeatedly. 5

Sergio Aguero

Couldn't get enough power on diving header and went a fraction too early for disallowed offside goal. 7

Raheem Sterling

Kept getting in good positions and kept letting himself down with bad touches. Poor decisions and erratic control, passing and shooting. 4

Subs

David Silva

(for Mahrez 67) Brought some composure. 7

John Stones

(for De Bruyne 90) Brought on to add some defensive reinforcement. 6

Gabriel Jesus

(for Aguero 90) Wound down the clock. 6

Not used: Ederson, Garcia, Zinchenko, Foden.
