Man City Player Ratings
Defence
Ederson – Nothing to do in the first half but grateful for Wolves’ woeful finishing in the second. 6/10
Kyle Walker – Quick, powerful and aggressive throughout, and a clearance off the line, too. 8/10
John Stones – Too slack around Podence in second half but his build-up was crucial in the first half. 7/10
Nathan Ake – Slotted in seamlessly for his debut – not as prominent as Stones, but did well. 7/10
Benjamin Mendy – Traore started to test his fitness in the second half and he was powerless to stop the Wolves flyer. 6/10
Midfield
Rodri – Nearly scored an early Goal of the Season, but his first half control not as evident after the break. 7/10
Fernandinho – Rolled back the years at times in the heart of midfield, stroking it around beautifully. 7/10
Kevin De Bruyne – Won and scored a penalty, created the second goal and was again a tour de force. 9/10
Forwards
Phil Foden – Simple finish for his goal, but he deserved it for the killer pass that brought the penalty. 8/10
Gabriel Jesus – Tireless and functional as the focus of attack, and he did a fine defensive job in the second half. 7/10
Raheem Sterling – Selfless assist for Foden and was a scurrying threat throughout. 7/10
Subs
Ferran Torres – N/A
