Manchester City ratings vs Southampton
Bravo – 6
Very little to do until Southampton got going late, good save to tip decent shot from Boufal around his post.
Walker – 7
A quick and powerful presence on the right, smart overlap and cross for City’s second.
Otamendi – 7
Easy header for his goal, superb tackle to dispossess Long in impressive first half and combative throughout.
Garcia – 6
Calm presence and good positioning. replaced by John Stones in second half as City consolidated
Angelino – 6
Decent effort saved on 18 minutes, constant attacking threat down left, subbed with what looked like a tight hamstring.
B Silva – 7
A return to form after a rare flat patch in season, nice cross for opener and buzzing presence throughout.
Doyle – 7
Tenacious presence as defensive shield, lovely pass through lines in first half but could have got on the ball a touch more.
Foden – 6
Involved in build up to second goal, good effort throughout but not his best night in a blue shirt.
Mahrez – 6
Plenty of trickery on show but often lacked end product, decent shot in first half well blocked and laid on Walker for City’s second goal.
Aguero – 7
Lovely finish to flowing seven man move for second and opportunistic finish for third reacting quickest to deflection.
Jesus – 7
Unfamiliar role on left side but powerful runner and excellent in the air, better up the middle.
