Manchester City player ratings: Vincent Kompany immense but Leroy Sane dismal

Ederson

Sharp off his line to deny Wood an nearly claimed assist of the season with a 90-yard pass to Aguero which he fluffed 7 .

Kyle Walker

Bad as anyone in that stuttering first half but he gave City punishing width, pace and power down the right flank after the break 6 .

Vincent Kompany

Let Barnes and Wood know there would be no bullying today with a dominant aerial performance - he was sure-footed, too. Immense 9 .

Aymeric Laporte

Also took no prisoners against a physical team , and his improved passing in the second half was a key factor in control of the game 7 .

Aleks Zinchenko

Couldn't get anything right in the first half, and he had a couple of shaky moments in the second as well! 5 .

Bernardo Silva

Another one whose usual sharpness was blunted at first, but he made up for that with yet another phenomenal work rate and a fine second half display 8 .

Ilkay Gundogan

Began to exert his influence as Burnley dropped deeper and deeper, his passing into the box always looking likely to open up the Clarets 7 .

David Silva

Even he looked nervy and under-cooked in the first half but he found space regularly after the break and made Burnley toil to stay in it 7 .

Raheem Sterling

Perhaps his worst half of the season, but he also woke up and took the fight to Burnley, scrapping hard and working back 6 .

Sergio Aguero

Touch let him down so many times in the first half, but when it mattered he came up with a scruffy winner, another invaluable Kun goal 7 .

Leroy Sane

Gave Lowton no real problems and blaming Zinchenko for a poor pass wonlt have helped his case with Guardiola 4.

Subs

Gabriel Jesus

(for Sane 64) Excellent job 7 .

John Stones

(for Aguero 82) No time to mark

Not used: Muric, Danilo, Otamendi, Foden, Mahrez.
