Man United vs Manchester City Ratings: City Player Ratings + Reaction
Manchester City triumphed in the match that was tipped to be the biggest obstacle on their run to defending their title. With only relatively smaller teams left to play, the likelihood of City dropping points and allowing Liverpool to pounce, is now quite low.
City struggled to break the Manchester United defence down in the first period and despite dominating possession, they come out of the half with nothing to show for it.
In the 2nd period though, a moment of individual
Here are the Manchester City Player Ratings:
Ederson 8
Put in a solid display in between the sticks as he kept out more than one United effort solely because of his killer instincts.
Kyle Walker 6
Struggled to have an attacking impact in the first half and looked quite comfortable once City got their goals.
Vincent Kompany 6
The Belgian veteran’s performance was riddled with small errors and the effects of his rising age are slowly starting to show.
Aymeric Laporte 7
Dominant in the air whenever he was called upon and did well to keep out the threat posed by Marcus Rashford’s pace.
Oleksandr Zinchenko 7
The young Ukrainian attacking-midfielder playing at left-back for City put in a motivating shift on the night.
Ilkay Gundogan 7
Picked out the pass to Bernardo Silva that eventually led to the opener and did well to control the midfield after that.
Fernandinho 8
The Brazilian showed his worth again tonight as he was in the right place at the right time one more than one occasion.
David Silva 7
The Spanish wizard worked tirelessly throughout the tie and did well to bring down the pace of the game at the end.
Bernardo Silva 8
Silva has shown once again that he’s one of City’s best players as a moment of magic from him opened the game up.
Sergio Aguero 7
A typical Sergio Aguero shift that mostly involved him battling it out with the rather aggressive United defence line.
Raheem Sterling 7
Used his pace well down the flanks and had the presence of mind to pick of Leroy Sane for City’s 2nd goal of the night.
Substitutes
Leroy Sane 8
Changed the complexion of the game after coming on and the shot that led to his goal was hit with a lot of conviction.
