Man City player ratings vs Burnley: David Silva & Mahrez impress in masterclass

  /  arrowhead

What marks out of ten did the Manchester City players get for the Premier League clash with Burnley?

Ederson

Pulled off two of the best passes of the match in the first half to give City an extra dimension and beat the Burnley press - no saves to make. 7

John Stones

Floated from right of a three, to right back, to midfield, and added value wherever he popped up - and his roving role had Burnley constantly guessing. 7

Vincent Kompany

Early booking and a couple of rusty touches brought pressure, but he recovered to put on a commanding and composed performance at the heart of defence. 7

Aymeric Laporte

Keeps showing his quality week after week, and also proved here he has got to grips with the physicality of the Premier League. 7

Bernardo Silva

Capped a typically industrious, clever display with another sharp goal - he profits greatly from those angled runs towards the penalty spot. 7

Fernandinho

His goal was brilliant, a side-foot when everyone waited for a detonation - and it summed up his game, with power and anticipation allied to sophisticated technique. 8

David Silva

Quite brilliant. Anyone who thinks he is about to be supplanted in this team - by Bernardo or anyone else - has another thing coming. 9

Benjamin Mendy

Reduced to a supporting role on the left by Silva and Sane, but he played that to perfection - no defensive dramas and plenty of attacking intent. 7

Riyad Mahrez

Fired in some great crosses in the first half that should have brought goals, continued to be a jinking menace, and capped it with a beauty. 9

Sergio Aguero

Scored the vital opener but missed two great first half chances, and was denied by old pal Joe Hart couple of times as well - all-round play good. 7

Leroy Sane

Gave full back Lowton nightmares - the lad was seeing stars long before Silva's shot hit him on the head. Key role in two goals and capped performance with another goal. 8

Subs

Kevin De Bruyne

(for Bernardo 58) first pass was marvellous. 7

Gabriel Jesus

(for Aguero 66) should have scored. 6

Phil Foden

(for D. Silva 74) lovely cameo. 7

Not used: Muric, Otamendi, Zinchenko, Sterling
