Billy Gilmour (7/10): The midfielder was accurate in passing and contributed with defensive duties as well.
Kenny McLean (6.1/10): McLean did not have a lot of possession and could not establish his presence in the match.
Joshua Sargent (6/10): The right-wing looked ineffective throughout the match and was eventually subbed off.
Teemu Pukki (5.8/10): Pukki had very little of the ball and just one shot on target.

Kyle Walker (8.2/10): The right-back was flamboyant on the flank and delivered an assist to Sterling. He did not get dribbled past and defended extremely well.
Ruben Dias (7.8/10): Apart from the yellow card challenge in the first half, Dias was positionally good and defensively great. He assisted Sterling’s second goal from a corner.

Phil Foden (8/10): Foden scored Manchester’s 2nd goal using good skills and placement into the net which just about went in.
Raheem Sterling (9.3/10): Sterling scored a hat trick and won the man of the match award. The first goal was an exceptional curler into the far corner, the second was a simple tap in the header and the third was a penalty rebound converted.
