Man City Square reviews the player performances in the Manchester City victory over Everton and selects a deserved man of the match
Ederson
Made one good save at full stretch and was not afraid to explain to Mina that diving is cheating. Not a lot he could do about the goal.
Player Rating 8
Kyle Walker
Another quiet display and I can not help but think that if Danilo was fit Walker would be rested. He looks to me a lot like he is carrying an injury.
Player Rating 6
Fabian Delph
Delph took time to explain the rules of the game to the linesman and even tangled with Calvert-Lewin after a crunching tackle.

Nicolas Otamendi
Otamendi swept up well but there was a lack of cohesion across the back line at times today and he gave away the ball needlessly under the circumstances.
Player Rating 7
Aymeric Laporte
Laporte looked assured again and was roughed up twice in the game, but luckily no lasting injury.
Player Rating 7
Fernandinho
A solid display, including unusually an assist!
Player Rating 8
Bernardo
Some careless passing from Bernardo.
Player Rating 6
Ilkay Gundogan
A good range of central passing. Two good displays this week.
Player Rating 8
Leroy Sane
Another two assists!
Player Rating 8
Riyad Mahrez
A bit invisible at times today.

Substitutes
Kevin De Bruyne
Early days for De Bruyne who will take some time to reach his peak.

Raheem Sterling
Doing his talking on the pitch again.

Man City Square Man of the Match
Gabriel Jesus broke his poor record of recent goals in the Premier League with a well earned brace. Let us hope that the 21 year old will now be able to crack on and enjoy a fine run of scoring.
