Player Ratings
Ederson – 6 Conceded goals that were as typical as they come, made crucial saves, and at times, appeared as the only saving grace at the back Kyle Walker – 4 Spun around, outpaced and outmatched, but managed to keep Son from posing more threat. John Stones – 5 Made crucial interceptions at the back but should have done better in the first two goals. Manuel Akanji – 5 Unable to cope with the intensity of Spurs’ relentless attacks, was caught off-guard on a few occasions. Josko Gvardiol – 5 Was outplayed by Dejan Kulusevski, who grew increasingly comfortable attacking down the right side as the game progressed, two mistakes leading to goals. Offered plenty of hope in attack, though. Bernardo Silva – 5 Exceptional work rate, and yet, nothing to show for the same, ran back and forth but made no significant difference to attack or defence. Ilkay Gundogan – 4 Struggled in his pairing with Rico Lewis, was poor in his forward passes, and barely offered help top the defensive line-up. Rico Lewis – 4 Appeared to be somewhat nervous in the defensive midfield role, ended up being a liability for the defensive line-up. Savinho – 5 Made impressive runs moving forward but made poor choices with his final play. Phil Foden – 5 Tried creating multiple chances and commanded the attacks from the midfield but failed to pierce through the Spurs’ defence as often as he would have liked. Erlin Haaland – 4 Missed several of his chances, far from his goal-scoring form for club lately. Substitutes Nathan Ake – 5 Replaced John Stones and found himself overwhelmed by Dominic Solanke, should have done better for the third goal. Kevin De Bruyne – 5.5 Ignited a fire in Manchester City’s attack despite the limited presence, created chances to spark a new hope amidst his side but to no avail. Jack Grealish – 4 Received the ball, made his runs, tricked the defenders, and nothing came of it |

Ederson: Made a number of good saves that stopped the scoreline becoming a complete embarrassment for City. The only one in Blue who played well. 7 Walker: Most of the trouble came on City's other side and he deal with Son well for large parts, although guilty of sitting off for the third. 5 Stones: A difficult 45 minutes on his first league start since Wolves, and he didn't reappear after the break. Problematic for City. 4 Akanji: Couldn't stop the Spurs onslaught on that side with Gvardiol but improved in the second half. 4 Gvardiol: A poor error for the first goal, compounded by an even poorer error for the second goal. Some good attacking positions made redundant by having given the game away. 3 Gundogan: A horror show, bypassed constantly in the game and unable to get back and help. A player who used to make everything look easy is struggling badly. 3 Lewis: A lot of shouting and aggression from a player up for a scrap, but very little contribution to creating chances from midfield. 4 Silva: Plenty of running and fight, and yet still powerless to prevent City's midfield being overrun. 5 Foden: More intensity than the rest of his teammates, although his radar in front of goal still hasn't returned from last season. 5 Savinho: Started brilliantly and quickly faded fast. Bottled out of what would have been a big goalscoring opportunity to sum up his lack of final product. 4 Haaland: None of his misses were terrible but you would have expected him to score at least one of those early chances that could have changed the game. 4 Substitutes Ake (for Stones, 46) The third goal came down his side and Solanke made life tough. 5 De Bruyne (for Savinho, 74) Good at creating chances, booked for a late tackle. 6 Grealish (for Lewis, 74) No impact. 4 |

GK: Ederson - 5.2/10 - Kept the score down in the first half with an excellent finger-tip stop to deny Son but didn't have much luck elsewhere. RB: Kyle Walker - 5.5/10 - Perhaps it's time to change the name of his podcast, which is currently and inaccurately known as: You'll Never Beat Kyle Walker. CB: John Stones - 6.5/10 - Slightly unfortunate to get hooked at half-time. CB: Manuel Akanji - 5.4/10 - Afforded minimal protection but didn't offer much resistance himself. LB: Josko Gvardiol - 5.6/10 - Far too flimsy in the challenge, routinely getting outmuscled by Kulusevski. CM: Rico Lewis - 6.9/10 - A man caught between two bus stops, Lewis was neither here nor there throughout the match. CM: Ilkay Gundogan - 7.8/10 - About the only thing that Gundogan did with any urgency was point at the players he should have been marking. CM: Bernardo SIlva - 7.3/10 - So often City's conductor in big games, Bernardo let the occasion pass him by. RW: Phil Foden - 6.7/10 - Started the game very brightly before his influence faded just as quickly. LW: Savinho - 6.0/10 - Awkwardly shoehorned onto the left wing for the first half, Savinho wasn't much better when he moved to the opposite flank after the break. ST: Erling Haaland - 7.3/10 - The clinical edge that his swollen goal hauls have afforded him was blunted on Saturday - and has been for a while; Haaland has scored with just one of his last 30 shots for City. Substitutes SUB: Nathan Ake (46' for Stones) - 6.6/10 SUB: Kevin De Bruyne (74' for Lewis) - 6.3/10 SUB: Jack Grealish (74' for Savinho) - 5.5/10 Manager Pep Guardiola - 3/10 - Chants of "You're getting sacked in the morning" rang around the Etihad after Spurs took a 3-0 lead. While that eventuality is effectively an impossibility, Guardiola's tactical tweaks on Saturday prompted more questions than answers. |

Ederson (6/10): Made a fine tip over from Son Heung-min and thwarted Dominic Solanke. But there was little he could do in the face of such bad defending. Kyle Walker (4/10): Too slow to get back for the second goal and lacked authority throughout the game. John Stones (4/10): Lost track of Maddison for the first goal and then left dazzled by Son's dribble and pass for the second. Taken off at half-time. Manuel Akanji (5/10): Made some wise interventions in the first half to prevent the scoreline getting even worse. Josko Gvardiol (3/10): Let Kulusevski get away before the first goal then gifted Spurs the second by surrendering the ball. Tried to make amends in attack but it was just not his day. Bernardo Silva (5/10): Part of the general problem in midfield of a lack of power but showed some belief in the second half. Ilkay Gundogan (4/10): Slow and ineffective. Couldn't give the team any control in midfield. Rico Lewis (4/10): Couldn't handle the electric Kulusevski. Booked for showing his frustration with an aggressive foul on Maddison. Savinho (3/10): Made one exciting run to tee up Haaland in the opening minutes but that was it. His final ball was poor and at times looked like he was not giving his all. Erling Haaland (3/10): Was too slow when receiving a pass from Savinho, seeing his shot blocked by Ben Davies. That set the tone for a woeful evening in front of goal, taking seven shots but only finding the target twice. Phil Foden (4/10): Looked sharp at the start but then faded and couldn't get a grip on the game. Subs & Manager Nathan Ake (5/10): Easily beaten by Solanke for the third goal. Kevin De Bruyne (7/10): Gave the team a bit of a spark, setting up a couple of chances. Jack Grealish (6/10): Added some energy and effort. Pep Guardiola (4/10): Might be regretting signing that new contract as he has a huge rebuild on his hands. Can point to injuries but his team just do not look like their usual selves. |

Ederson-6/10: Could do little about any of Tottenham’s goals and made several decent saves. Kyle Walker-3/10: Another poor game from Walker. Given a torrid time by Son and he doesn’t look anywhere near it at the moment. He was beaten for pace for Tottenham’s fourth by Timo Werner and that says it all about Walker’s play right now. John Stones-5/10: He looked like a player who has been out with injury. Looked well off it but wasn’t helped by City’s poor midfield. Manuel Akanji-5/10: Akanji tried hard all game, but like Stones, he looked short of a gallop. Josko Gvardiol-4/10: Not his best display. He was at fault for both of James Maddison’s goals, and his performance wasn’t at his usual high standards. Rico Lewis-4/10: He toiled away in midfield but he was brushed aside by Tottenham’s midfield. But he wasn’t City’s worst player on the night. Ilkay Gundogan-4/10: Played in a deeper midfield role and couldn’t keep up with Tottenham’s midfield. His lack of pace is becoming a major concern. Bernardo Silva-4/10: Bernardo tried hard but didn’t affect the game like he would’ve liked. By the end of the game he cut a frustrated figure Phil Foden-4/10: Foden couldn’t get into the game like many of his teammates. He needs to lift like so many of his teammates. Savinho-4.5/10: Started the game brightly but drifted out of the game. He did, however, pull out of a challenge with Vicario in a moment that stood out in the first half. He must eradicate that from his game. Erling Haaland-4/10: Haaland spurned several opportunities, and if he could’ve taken one of his early chances, the game could’ve played out differently. Not his day. Substitutes Nathan Ake-5/10: Came on at halftime and tried hard at the back. Of all three of City’s centre-backs, he looked the best of all three. Kevin De Bruyne- N/A: He was City’s most creative player in the twenty minutes he was on the pitch. That says it all really. Jack Grealish- N/A: Not on long enough to mark but it was good to see him back on the pitch. |

Ederson – 5.5 Couldn’t do anything about their first but should have stopped the ball going across goal for the second. Got beat to the ball for the third. Rico Lewis – 6.5 Provided the energy in midfield and was okay defensively. Manuel Akanji – 6.5 Solid at the back. Did his job well. Nathan Ake – 6.5 Unlucky not to score in the first half. Defended well. Josko Gvardiol – 3 Came forward to help Grealish and create overloads. His poor back pass lead to their goal. Ilkay Gundogan – 7.5 Fortunate his strike went in and played a key through ball in the buildup to the third goal. Bernardo Silva © – 7 Effective around the box and worked nicely on the right side. Matheus Nunes – 7 Confident when driving forward and played a great ball for Haaland’s second goal. Jack Grealish – 6.5 Still coming to fitness after his long spell out. Struggled to make an impact in the final third. Phil Foden – 6.5 Always in pockets and looking to create. Didn’t receive much of the ball however. Erling Haaland – 9 Strong performance from him and was very effective in the box. Great intelligence to make the run for his second goal. Substitutes: Jahmai Simpson-Pusey – 4.5 Conceded three goals after his introduction. James McAtee – 5 Failed to grasp the game and City lost control of the game. Kevin De Bruyne – 7 Creative genius as always and looked a threat every time he got the ball. |

Ederson: Alert when he needed to be, keeping his cool whenever there was a slip from his defenders until he ruined it by charging out rashly for the third. 5 Lewis: Earned Guardiola's frustration early on and while he was much improved on Saturday he still could not prevent the equaliser. 5 Akanji: Made a few errors that nearly let Feyenoord in but is surely nailed for a start at Anfield on the basis he can play 90 minutes. 5 Ake: A welcome sight on the pitch, even if he hasn't completed 90 minutes yet this season. 6 Gvardiol: Another two errors leading to goals won't do his confidence any good. 4 Gundogan: Scored one and helped tee another one up, but he remains a worry defensively in the holding role. 6 Nunes: Quiet in the first half but stepped up and was excellent for the third goal, bringing energy and a directness. 7 Foden: Worked hard and linked well but still isn't doing enough - and what he can do - in the final third. 6 Silva: Not a standout again but nobody else in the team can move so seamlessly from defensive midfield to right wing in a matter of days. 7 Grealish: Unlucky when Foden diverted his volley wide and a decent performance on his return, although he still looks destined not to score. 6 Haaland: Saw a header bounce off the post, kept his cool for the penalty and looked more confident with a classy third. 8 Substitutes Simpson-Pusey (for Ake, 68) Not a great part in the Feyenoord goal. 5 De Bruyne (for Foden, 69) Plenty of glimmers but nothing came off. 6 McAtee (for Gundogan, 69) Charged about without much luck and was booked. 5 |

Ederson (4/10): Stood tall to trap Paixao's effort but appeared to take his eye off the ball late in the game. A tad slow when he tried to halt Hadj-Moussa and didn't guard his post properly in the build-up to the second before being at fault for the equaliser. Rico Lewis (5/10): Was having a more comfortable evening than in recent weeks, shuttling between defence and midfield with ease, but he was overwhelmed at the end. Manuel Akanji (5/10): Crossed when Haaland's header hit the post. Part of the general defensive shoddiness towards the end. Nathan Ake (6/10): City missed his physical presence when he was taken off with 21 minutes to go Josko Gvardiol (4/10): Made a couple of good recovery runs but one weak ball to Foden that was intercepted was a sign he was lacking concentration, and he made his worst blunder of a bad week to gift Feyenoord a way back in to the game. Bernardo Silva (5/10): Couldn't impose himself on the game. Ilkay Gundogan (5/10): Still looks uncomfortable as the main holding midfielder, but at least he scored. Matheus Nunes (7/10): Had a lively game, making an important block in the first half and setting up Haaland's second goal. Created another chance which Grealish should have done better with. Phil Foden (5/10): Uninspiring once more. Blocked Grealish's shot and saw his own strike tipped around the post. Erling Haaland (8/10): A handful: hit the post, won the penalty and scored twice. Deserved much better. Jack Grealish (5/10): Not an encouraging return at all. Wasted a great chance to make it 4-0 and then had a shot deflected onto the bar at the end. Subs & Manager Kevin De Bruyne (5/10): Offered some flair but not enough intensity. Jahmai Simpson-Pusey (5/10): Too inexperienced to see the game out. James McAtee (5/10): Couldn't link up properly with his team-mates and scuffed his one chance. Pep Guardiola (4/10): Looked furious at the end, but it was partly his fault for making so many substitutions, which indicated he thought the game was over. Instead, the disease has spread even further. |
