Man City player ratings vs Newcastle as Kevin De Bruyne and Oscar Bobb star

Manchester City had to work to earn a Premier League point at Newcastle.

Bernardo Silva gave them the lead with a fantastic finish from a Kyle Walker cross in the first half, but the Blues were not only level but behind before too long as Alexander Isak and then Anthony Gordon exposed them at the back.

City were grateful to go in at half-time trailing by just one goal but Kevin De Bruyne needed just four minutes as a second-half substitute to score a pinpoint equaliser.

Here are the player ratings from the game.

Ederson: Tried to carry on after being clattered into in the opening minutes but forced into an early substitution. 6

Walker: Decent cross for the assist but a man who prides himself on 1vs1 defending was beaten for two goals. Improved in the second half 5

Dias: Part of another leaky defence but on this occasion he was more switched on than most and also contributed in attack. 7

Ake: Struggled to contain the left side with Newcastle pouncing in the space behind Gvardiol. 6

Gvardiol: In what feels like a summary of his season, played some nice balls forward but wasn't good enough defensively and Newcastle exploited that. 5

Rodri: A lovely pass through to De Bruyne for the second goal and did well, although lost his focus a bit arguing with the ref. 7

Kovacic: Had earned his place in the team and worked hard even if he wasn't always able to help the team keep control. 6

Foden: Worked his way into lots of excellent position but his touch was unusually poor when he needed it most. 6

Silva: A wonderful goal to open the scoring and he was an attacking threat and a defensive help. A surprise to be substituted. 7

Doku: Terrific vision for the opening goal and dribbles caused Newcastle problems, but City were
