Man City player ratings: Phil Foden and Rodri great vs Aston Villa

Claudio Bravo

Given no chance with the goal, and he had little else to do until a fine late save - 7

Kyle Walker

Happy to let Foden cause havoc down the right, offering defensive support - 7

John Stones

Tripped over his own feet at the crucial moment to ruin what had been a simple return to the team - 5

Fernandinho

Masterful in his reading of the game, and aggressive enough to win his aerial duels too - 8

Aleks Zinchenko

Good in those tight areas around the box - a king of the rondo - 7

Ilkay Gundogan

Circulated the ball so well to ensure City had 71 per cent possession - 7

Rodri

Lifted a great pass for Foden's assist and then powered in the second goal - 8

David Silva

Finding that his once-impeccable touch occasionally lets him down these days - 7

Raheem Sterling

Kept threatening to cut loose, but the threats all came to nothing - 6

Sergio Aguero

In exactly the right place to open the scoring, and was a menace throughout - 7

Phil Foden

Lovely assist for the first goal, and his athleticism and thrust were key to City throughout - 8

Subs

Kevin De Bruyne

(for Gundogan 58) After Lord Mayor's show - 6

Bernardo Silva

(for D. Silva 76) no time to mark

Gabriel Jesus

(for Aguero 84)

Not used: Ederson, Mendy, Mahrez, Otamendi.
