Manchester City 2-2 Liverpool: Premier League player ratings

Ederson Bad error allowed Jota’s strike in and was casual at times when clearing under pressure before settling down. 5/10

Kyle Walker Potent going forward and though pacy in defence, he is culpable for not tracking Mané when latter breached Ederson. 6

John Stones Might have scored from slick City free-kick routine. Had been composure personified before Liverpool awoke following interval. 6

Aymeric Laporte Legginess was tested by Salah and company in second period and the Spaniard was often second best. 6

João Cancelo Darting runs and vision posed questions – and there was no answer to the deft parabola that created Jesus’s finish. 7

Rodri Snapped into tackles and helped flood Liverpool but struggled when those in red moved into gear. Late clearing header invaluable. 7

Bernardo Silva Excellent. Operated alongside Rodri – a rarity– and served long-range rearguard-splitters while ghosting into advanced areas. 8

Gabriel Jesus His first goal in 16 league outings was an in-the-off-bar affair but he then became too greedy to Guardiola’s chagrin. 7

Kevin De Bruyne Left-foot zinger in off Matip and Alisson’s left post gave City a dream start. A perpetual menace from first to last whistle. Man of the match. 8

Phil Foden Lightning feet and brain gave Joël Matip a nightmarish afternoon the youngster was one of City’s high points. 8

Raheem Sterling City’s false 9 missed a golden early chance but speed splayed visitors and was marginally offside when registering after the hour. 6

Substitutes: Riyad Mahrez (for Sterling, 75) 7; Jack Grealish (for Jesus, 83) 6.

Alisson Secure when required – the Brazilian had scant chance with either City goal and was then largely untroubled. 7

Trent Alexander-Arnold Influential. One lovely sliced pass
