Man City player ratings as Raheem Sterling is almost unplayable vs Norwich

Ederson Couple of sharp saves, but his best moment was racing out to become an inverted midfielder/goalkeeper - 7

Kyle Walker - Headless moment or two early on, but he sharpened it up and his pace was effective against counters - 6

Ruben Dias - Glad of Pukki's early offside as he dallied, but kept City pressing forward and even claimed an assist - 7

Nathan Ake Proving he is more than just a distant fourth choice with a solid, assured display - 7

Aleks Zinchenko A constant source of chances and danger for City - different to Cancelo but highly effective in his own way - 8

Fernandinho Rolled back the years by gradually establishing midfield dominance and spreading passes with authority and style - 8

Ilkay Gundogan Such a threat around the box - could easily have had a hat-trick with a little more good fortune - 8

Bernardo Silva Devilish around the box and a workhorse out of possession, another consummate performance - 8

Riyad Mahrez Didn't go seeking his record-equalling goal, happy to play his role and stretch the Canaries defence - 7

Phil Foden Snapped up a goal and had a hand in a couple of others - central role is sacrificial in some ways, but he still influences - 8

Raheem Sterling - Not affected by early misses, ran Aarons ragged and nabbed a perfect hat-trick - 9

James McAtee (for Bernardo 75) No time to mark

Liam Delap (for Foden 80) No time to mark

Kayky (for Mahrez, 83) No time to mark

Not used: Carson, Cancelo, Stones, Laporte, Rodri, De Bruyne
