Gianluigi Donnarumma (7/10):
Raced out of his area to beat Joao Pedro to the ball in one of the few moments he actually had to make a save. Late in the game made himself big to thwart Cucurella at point-blank-range.
Matheus Nunes (6/10):
Got outfoxed by Pedro Neto’s quick feet and needed help from Rodri. Did ok from an attacking point of view, creating a chance for Guehi.
Abdukodir Khusanov (6/10):
Played on the edge with his high positioning but used his pace to get back in time, in one instance just managing to put Joao Pedro off.
Marc Guehi (7/10):
Defended with his usual assurance but what stood out was his presence in attack. Had two first half chances and then demonstrated his sharp shooting with his feet to double the lead.
Nico O’Reilly (8/10):
Physically dominant throughout, creating City’s only real chance of the first half then getting the breakthrough goal with a thumping header. Forced off injured.
