Manchester City 1 Tottenham 0 Player Ratings and Man of the Match
By David Crook
The Attack
Bernardo Silva
Another great display from the non stop duracell sponsored midfielder. He never gave up a single ball. Tried his best in every situation. Our best and most incisive moments all seemed to come through him. Bernardo has cemented himself as our most important attacking player.
Player Rating 9
Sergio Aguero
Brilliant assist with his cushioned header. Lead the attacking line very well. Came wide to receive the ball and his general range of passing, which is often over looked, was great. Because he had to come so deep for possession he was not best placed to provide a strike on target when possession was over turned.
Player Rating 7
Raheem Sterling
Not as productive today and this was not a surprise given he was pretty much double marked throughout the match. Had one point blank shot which should probably have been a goal and then presented as a real danger to Tottenham by leading a series of swift counter attacks. Involved in some clashes with Spurs players towards the end which is unlike Raheem so it would be interesting to know exactly what was said to him.
