Player ratings
Ederson 6 - Once again gives away a penalty but was annoyed with himself this time, but he was for most of the match in control.
Walker 6 - not much got past him and had the upper hand on Martial and made Shaw look ineffective, worked well when going forward.
Stones 7 - getting better, threw himself to block a shot marshalling the back to come out and press high up the Pitch
Laporte 8 - has an understanding with stones and making that defence solid, Had Rashford in his pocket.
Mendy 5 - Still not back to full fitness following his injury and surgery of last season and out again this season, but getting there.
Fernandiho 8 - Gary Neville tried his best to get the referee to pay more attention to his subtle fouls, but holds the back and front together. Had a go at Mahrez for not taking Shaw out, by having to do it himself
Sterling 7 - had Young trailing in his wake more than once in this match, should have scored but put in a shift
Bernardo 8 - two assists, all over the place neat one-twos, did well to keep the ball in and left David Silva to score the first. City's third a superb defence splitting cross for Gundogan
Silva 9* - Worked tirelessly all game creating and his goal was a Joy
Aguero 8 - The Silver Fox (with a touch of blue rinse apparently according to Mrs B) - They blamed De Gea for letting it in, but I defy anyone to have stopped it, he hit it with such venom, a really good game, creating space and his goal came at the right time.
Mahrez 6 - Not quite there yet for me but getting better with each game.
Subs
Sané 6 - for Mahrez (62) nothing special but kept Young busy
Gundogan 7 - for Aguero (75) brought some stability and purpose to the side, hit one well wide before his goal which ended it as a contest
Foden for David Silva - not enough time to make an impact.
