Man City player ratings vs Leeds as Aymeric Laporte and Phil Foden stand tall in big win

Ederson even his passing was off on a lackadaisical day for the Blues, and made one save with his feet in added time 6

Joao Cancelo looks so much better at left-back! Poor decisions, slack passing - and then an amazing goal-line clearance late on! 6

Ruben Dias at times looked like he was the centre-back who took a blow to the head but hit back with an assist to Ake 5

Aymeric Laporte great, brave saving header that forced lengthy treatment - and another brilliant block on Raphinha 8

Nathan Ake had a torrid time as Leeds targeted him first half with little support from Grealish - but his goal was crucial 6

Rodri excellent glancing header to give City the lead, and he gradually asserted his dominance over midfield 7

Ilkay Gundogan superb chase back and tackle to deny Rodrigo early in the game but a rugged game didn't suit him 6

Phil Foden Moments of magic in the No10 role and he ended with two assists and a big hand in the other goal 8

Raheem Sterling some thrilling runs had Leeds in tatters at times but could not make it pay off 8

Gabriel Jesus handed the sacrificial central role, worked hard and claimed his reward with another emphatic finish 7

Jack Grealish still short of being a major influence on games - could start by staying on his feet more often 4
