Rico Lewis (7/10): Moved to the midfield to provide as an extra-man. He combined well with his teammates and took good touches.

Manuel Akanji (7/10): Made goal-line clearances to prevent his team from conceding a goal. Apart from that, it was a pretty average performance from him.

Nathan Ake (7/10): Ake made some key interceptions and showed intelligence on the field.

Josko Gvardiol (5/10): The left-back continues to struggle in the defensive aspects even though he was pretty good going higher on the pitch.

Mateo Kovacic (6/10): Decent but not convincing enough as he was found out of the position at times.

Kevin De Bruyne (8/10): Arguably the best player on the pitch. The Belgian opened the opponent’s defence with his runs and creativity.

Bernardo Silva (7/10): Did enough to support his side even though he didn’t have any major impact on the game.

Phil Foden (5/10): While he showed form in recent outings, it wasn’t his day at all. Fans are still waiting to see his last season’s glimpses.

Erling Haaland (7/10): Would be a relief to find himself on the score sheet. However, he needs to contribute more significantly.

Savinho (7/10): Looked a bit shaky in the initial moments but got better as the game progressed.

James McAtee (7/10): Was impactful coming off the bench at the cost of Phil Foden.
