Man City player ratings: Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne superb vs Liverpool

Ederson

One save from Salah, but his possession football with the back four was spot-on. 7

Kyle Walker

Great cross-field ball, silly header, but his aggression in defence was key to containing Liverpool. 7

Eric Garcia

Never looked fazed by a dangerous attack, playing football out of defence like a veteran. 8

Aymeric Laporte

Strong and decisive when needed, after seeing Salah skate past him and hit the post. 8

Benjamin Mendy

Switched off a couple of times early on but he improved enormously at both ends. 8

Rodri

Matched that Liverpool physicality in midfield and linked up beautifully with Gundogan. 8

Ilkay Gundogan

Couple of nervy moments early, but some of his passing and link-up work were of the highest quality. 8

Kevin De Bruyne

Scored from the spot, and played a key role in the second and third, and was all-round excellent! 9

Phil Foden

Mture performance n many ways, but brimming with youthful vim, technical quality and goal threat. Superb. 9

Gabriel Jesus

Had a tough time against van Dijk, but fluffed a great chance he created for himself and was instantly hauled off. 6

Raheem Sterling

His first two league goals against his old club were well deserved - and he did superbly to win the penalty. 8

Subs

Riyad Mahrez

(for Jesus  58) joined in the fun. 7

Joao Cancelo

(for Walker 73) no time to mark.

Nicolas Otamendi

(for  Laporte 78) no time.

Bernardo Silva

(for Sterling 78) no time.

Not used: Bravo, Stones, Zinchenko, D. Silva, Doyle
