Man City vs Arsenal player ratings as Sterling and Mahrez have surprises – Stuart Brennan


Ederson

Well saved from a header by Mustafi, but his pass to a very marked Kevin De Bruyne almost brought a goal. – 6

Kyle walker

His forward forays had no real conviction, and Aubameyang caught him twice – 5

Eric Garcia

A couple of major interceptions, but his lack of rhythm came under scrutiny a few times – 5

Aymeric Laporte

Unusually weak in his pace at times, but still the best defender in town – 6

Benjamin Mendy

Relentlessly attacking from the left, but his defensive absences were exploited by the Gunners – 6

Ilkay Gundogan

Quiet and composed the first half, but errors began to appear after the break – 5


Kevin De Bruyne

His passing and decision-making were horrible at times, but still, strangely, he was a major threat to the City: 6

David Silva

Expelled from the game in the first half, but fell deeper and began to pull ropes – 7

Riyad Mahrez

One of those games where he got out of the action for long periods and ended up subbed – 4

Gabriel Jesus

He found it difficult in a busy last third, but his hard work never stopped – 5

Raheem Sterling

All of City’s best chances fell on him, but he was having one of those free nights: 4

SUBS

Rodri

(for Gundogan 66) Uninspired – 6

Phil Foden

(for Mahrez 66) no heroicity – 6

Fernandinho

(for D. Silva 87) there is no time to score
