Manchester City Player Ratings
Ederson - 7/10
Manchester City's Ederson did not have much to do all game, as the hosts failed to create anything substantial. The Gunners hardly tested the Brazilian, as he successfully registered a clean sheet.
Joao Cancelo - 7/10
Joao Cancelo put in a solid display and successfully kept Saka in check. The Portuguese put in a well-rounded performance at the back. Cancelo played his part well offensively as well as defensively.
John Stones - 7/10
John Stones, alongside Ruben Dias, successfully neutralised Arsenal's threats. The England international ensured that the Manchester City goalkeeper was well guarded and did not have much to do.
Ruben Dias - 7.5/10
Continuing his red hot form, Ruben Dias put in another great display for Manchester City. The Portuguese international was rock solid at the back. He won four duels, made four recoveries, completed three dribbles and made a clearance to cap off a stellar display. Dias completed the most passes in the game too.
Oleksandr Zinchenko - 7.5/10
Oleksandr Zinchenko put in a massive shift at the back for Manchester City. He made eight recoveries, won three duels and made three clearances. His darting runs up and down the pitch caused Bellerin all sorts of trouble. Zinchenko was successful in containing Pepe as well.
Bernardo Silva - 7/10
Bernardo Silva had a decent outing, as he combined well with Fernandinho and Ilkay Gundogan to keep control of the midfield. Silva tried to breach the compact Arsenal backline on numerous occasions and also looked to feed his forwards. The Portuguese international created two chances for Manchester City too.
Fernandinho - 7.5/10
Fernandinho was phenomenal for Manchester City in the centre of the pitch. The Brazilian won seven duels, made nine recoveries, completed two dribbles and won two tackles. He was in complete control in midfield.
Ilkay Gundogan - 6.5/10
Ilkay Gundogan had a decent game, but he was far from his best. The German international had his moments but failed to produce anything substantial up front. Gundogan did well to rotate possession but was caught out by a resilient Arsenal defence quite a few times.
Riyad Mahrez - 8/10
Riyad Mahrez had a great game. The Algerian set up Sterling for Manchester City's opener with a delicious cross. Mahrez combined well with Cancelo down the flank. He also won four duels, completed three dribbles and made three recoveries in the game.
Kevin De Bruyne - 6.5/10
Kevin De Bruyne started his first game for Manchester City following his injury lay-off. The Belgian seemed to be getting back to his groove, as he created three chances for his side and looked quick with his transitions up front.
Raheem Sterling - 8/10
Raheem Sterling was a menace for Manchester City down the pitch. The 26-year-old helped secure all three points for his side as he scored a glancing header in the opening exchanges of the game. Sterling completed five dribbles and won nine duels too.
Ratings of Manchester City Substitutes
