Man City player ratings vs Spurs: David Silva good but Fabian Delph awful

Ederson

Couple of important, albeit standard, saves and some cool footwork - most vitally, he recovered from nasty hip knock! 7

Kyle Walker

Apart from a fine first half pass, he looked nervous against his old club, at times his game seemed to be hanging together by a thread. 5

Nicolas Otamendi

With a referee that was giving everything, he was far too rash in his handling of Kane - looked like an accident waiting to happen. 6

Aymeric Laporte

Had to be very careful after an unlucky first half booking but he showed the composure that has made him a stand-out defender this season. 7

Fabian Delph

Spurs clearly targeted him but he defended with determination until Son got behind him - and he inexcusably failed to play to the whistle. 2

Ilkay Gundogan

Over-run in the first half but when he dropped deeper he began to have an effect on the game and helped City push forward in the last half-hour. 7

Fernandinho

Could not impose himself in the first half but he started to drive the Blues forward after the break, looking more like his old self. 6

David Silva

City's best creative player even if not at his mercurial best - but even he failed to keep his head in promising situations inside the Spurs box. 7

Riyad Mahrez

After a dreadful, peripheral first half, he saw plenty of the ball - but his final pass and crossing were still not of the requisite standard. 5

Sergio Aguero

The penalty was not good enough for a player of his quality, and it affected his general game as a couple more half-chances went woefully wide. 5

Raheem Sterling

After an initial burst in which he won the penalty, too much of his work was down a dead-end or with the ball stuck under his feet. 5

Subs

Gabriel Jesus

(for Aguero 70) Ragged and offside. 5

Kevin De Bruyne

(for Silva 89) no time to mark.

Leroy Sane

(for Mahrez 89) no time to mark.

Not used: Muric, Kompany, Stones, Foden,
