Manchester City vs Bournemouth player ratings
Ederson (5/10)
A spectator for most of the match, but was well beaten by Luis Sinisterra.
Kyle Walker (6/10)
Pushed high to offer support on the wings and followed up well but it didn’t look good for Bournemouth’s goal.
Manuel Akanji (7/10)
Lucky I got on the scoresheet as the ball just bounced off his back. He didn’t have much defending to do – he was more of a supporting presence further down the field.
John Stones (6/10)
Perfect passing speed and good midfield backup.
Nathan Ake (7/10)
His passing was sound, he made one or two good defensive saves and then headed a great six.
Rodri (7/10)
Well tied things together acting as support for attack and key to building. He played a great number one with Doku for the opener.
Mateo Kovacic (5/10)
Had a close range shot as the last kick of the ball and otherwise pretty quiet.
Julian Alvarez (7/10)
He was all over the attack and set up Haaland well with a cross and then a through ball. Always smart on the ball in tight and dangerous areas.
Bernardo Silva (8/10)
An excellent shot from outside went just wide, but he found space for the second goal and was of good quality.
Erling Haaland (4/10)
Ruined one excellent chance as he was found in plenty of space but too many touches – summed up his day. Off at half time.
Jeremy Doku (10/10)
.
What an amazing show! They made the quick burst they needed to open the scoring, fancy footwork for the second, crushed Akanji for the first, pulled Foden for number fou
