Manchester City‘s rampant form continued as they made it 16 wins in a row, defeating Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham 4-1 in the process, on Saturday night.
Here, we take a look at the player ratings from both teams as Pep Guardiola’s men extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table.
Ederson – 7
Important stop to deny Kane with the game still in the balance at start of second-half.
Kyle Walker – 7
Up against his former club and solid. Will have been disappointed to be denied a clean sheet at the end.
Nicolas Otamendi – 7
A bit reckless at times, but still helped to handle the threat of Kane.
Eliaquim Mangala – 7
Enjoying the first-team spotlight again and can’t really fault the Frenchman.
Fabian Delph – 6
Linked well with Sane on the left but picked up yellow card for rash lunge on Trippier.
Kevin de Bruyne – 9
Majestic once more. Tricks, flicks and the pick of the bunch.
Fernandinho – 7
Tireless and tenacious, the workhorse and warrior in the City midfield.
Gundogan – 8
Provided intelligence and inspiration with his goal and setting up quick attacks.
Sane – 8
A welcome return to form for the German after a much-needed rest. Stylish in attack and useful contributions at the back.
Sterling – 7
Scored two, could have had five. Wasteful but getting in the right positions.
Aguero – 6
Always a threat but perhaps a lack of pressing the Spurs defence saw him benched earlier than expected.
Jesus (for Aguero 58′) – 6
Lively contribution from the Brazilian to help swing the game back in City’s favour – but should have let De Bruyne take penalty that he missed.
Foden: (for Gundogan 83′) – 6
The 17-year-old was given a taste of action and looked comfortable.
Bernardo (for Sane 85′) – 7
Instant impact with shot against foot of post and glorious pass for Sterling’s second.
Hugo Lloris – 6
Kept the score down with several good saves, but his efforts proved futile.
Kieran Trippier – 5
Endured a torrid time against Sane and unable to offer support at the other end.
Eric Dier – 4
Constantly unsettled and unnerved by the home side’s attacking storm and caught out repeatedly.
Jan Vertonghen – 5
Found it tough against the pace-fuelled City attack and fouled De Bruyne for the spot-kick.
Danny Rose – 5
Heavily involved but for the wrong reasons. Could have conceded two penalties for push on Mangala and handball.
Mousa Dembele – 5
Struggled to get a foothold in midfield and over-run.
Harry Winks – 5
Like Dembele, saw little of the ball and constantly chasing the City runners.
Dele Alli – 5
A frustrated and forlorn figure and showed it with over-the-top challenge that could have caused a lot more damage to De Bruyne’s ankle.
Christian Eriksen – 6
Busy, but not enough for a player of his ilk. A real struggle for the Dane but claimed a late consolation.
Son Heung-min – 5
Influential in recent weeks, but completely anonymous here.
Harry Kane – 5
Curled an opportunity inches wide in the first half and tested Ederson, but lucky not to see red for studs-up challenge on Sterling.
Erik Lamela (for Son 77′) – 5
A nice run after coming on, but hardly involved after that.
Moussa Sissoko (for Alli 84′) – 5
A booking was all he had to show for his late appearance.
Ben Davies (for Rose 89′) – 4
A strange substitution with the game already decided.
