Man City vs Arsenal player ratings as Sterling and Mahrez have shockers

Ederson

Fine save from Mustafi's header but his pass to a tightly marked Kevin De Bruyne nearly brought a goal. - 6

Kyle Walker

His forward forays carried no real conviction, and he was caught out by Aubameyang twice - 5

Eric Garcia

Couple of important interceptions but his lack of pace was under scrutiny a couple of times - 5

Aymeric Laporte

Unusually lax in his passing at times but was still City's best defender - 6

Benjamin Mendy

Relentless attacking down the left but his defensive absences were exploited by the Gunners - 6

Ilkay Gundogan

Calm and composed first half but mistakes started to creep in after the break - 5

Kevin De Bruyne

His passing and decision-making were awful at times, but he still, bizarrely, was a main City threat - 6

David Silva

Squeezed out of the game in the first half, but dropped deeper and started pulling strings - 7

Riyad Mahrez

One of those games where he drifted out of the action for long periods, and ended up subbed - 4

Gabriel Jesus

Found it tough in a busy final third, but his hard work never stopped - 5

Raheem Sterling

All of City's best chances fell to him but he was having one of those off nights - 4

SUBS

Rodri

(for Gundogan 66) no inspiration - 6

Phil Foden

(for Mahrez 66) no heroics - 6

Fernandinho

(for D. Silva 87) no time to mark

Not used: Carson, Cancelo, Stones, Otamendi, Zinchenko, Bernardo
