Man City player ratings vs Arsenal with Kevin De Bruyne and John Stones brilliant

Ederson: Didn't have much to do but did it well, commanding his box and unable to do much about the Arsenal goal. 7

Walker: Used his pace brilliantly against a speedy Arsenal attack and was also ready to counter. 8

Stones: Can do no wrong on the pitch at the minute. Faultless at the back and came up with an important goal. 9

Dias: Great leadership at the back and excellent game awareness to clear a Zinchenko cross in a rare Arsenal attack. 8

Akanji: Outstanding up against Saka. Notable when he lost a duel because he won every single other one. 9

Rodri: Sped play up at the right time, slowed it down at the right time. Arsenal couldn't get close to him. 8

Gundogan: Thrived alongside De Bruyne in the middle as the Arsenal core disintegrated to allow them room to roam. 8

De Bruyne: Two goals and an assist in an outstanding performance. Hitting his best form at the best moment. 9

Bernardo: Everybody knows what he is going to do but nobody can stop him doing it. Selfless service of the highest standard. 8

Grealish: Always a threat, and always running his socks off to limit the Arsenal attack. Brilliant opposite Bernardo. 8

Haaland: Two very good assists in possibly his best performance with his back to goal, but should have had at least three goals. 8

Mahrez (for Gundogan, 71) Played his part but the contest was long over. 6

Alvarez (for De Bruyne, 81) Saw the game out. 6

Foden (for Grealish, 87) No time

Not used: Ortega, Laporte, Lewis, Gomez, Phillips, Palmer
