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.

Player Rating 6

More from Man City Square

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.

Player Rating 6

Gabriel Jesus

Two shots on target and two goals!

Player Rating 9

Substitutes 

Kevin De Bruyne

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

Player Rating 6

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.
