Man City player ratings as Dias and Grealish star vs Arsenal

Ederson: Too obvious with his timewasting in the first half on a night where he didn't have many saves to make. 6

Walker: Pushed up the right flank well to contribute, although most of the action was on the other side. 6

Dias: Outstanding blocks and tackles throughout the night to keep City's defence in order. 8

Ake: A good effort to play centre-back and try to keep Saka quiet. Posed an attacking threat too. 7

Bernardo: From left-back to right wing in one substitution. Struggled to contain Saka but energy was superb. 7

Rodri: Back to his usual self after that blip at Spurs, helping City regain control of midfield in the second half. 7

Gundogan: In the right time at the right place for the winner to help it along, capping another stylish display. 7

De Bruyne: Some wayward passes and touches but the one that mattered for the goal was pure class. 7

Mahrez: Not his night, and couldn't complain with an early sub in the second half. 5

Grealish: A big goal in a big game. Nearly lost his cool moments before before exploding for the winner. 8

Haaland: Gave the Arsenal defence problems all night, almost won a penalty and played a role in the second goal, then got the third. 8
