Josh Sargent – NA. On for Teemu Pukki late on, and he saw the ball as little as the player he had replaced.
Kenny McLean – 5. If his half-time introduction was designed to help move Norwich forward, it did not work. He was largely anonymous. AFP
MANCHESTER CITY RATINGS: Ederson – 7. His only real work came when he had to make a diving header to clear on a rare Norwich break. Otherwise, an easy day out. Getty
Kyle Walker 7. Seemed to be in complete control, which made his decision to block off Rasicha off the ball – which resulted in a VAR check for foul play – all the more odd. Getty
Ruben Dias – 7. Threw himself into his job on the few occasions late on when he was tasked with doing some defending. EPA
Aymeric Laporte – 7. Had a cruisy time at the back, and picked up a goal when he bundled in a shot from a corner. Getty
Joao Cancelo – 7. Appeared to revel in his partnership with Grealish up the left flank for City. And he didn’t have to concern himself with defending much, either. AFP
Rodrigo – 6. Rarely required to break into a sprint as the home side dominated possession. Reuters
Ilkay Gundogan – 8. Given a standing ovation when he came off in the second half, after another command performance. He had been booked for a clumsy challenge on Lees-Melou. AFP
Jack Grealish – 7. Not a classic way to open his City account as it bounced in off his knee. Looked to be enjoying his new surroundings. Getty
Bernardo Silva - 6. The least visible of the home side's attacking talent as he had a quiet afternoon. Getty
Gabriel Jesus – 9. An absolutely storming display on the right flank, as he set up three of the home side’s goals. EPA
Ferran Torres – 7. Had a goal chalked off by VAR. Was bright in the centre forward role before making way for Sterling. AFP
SUBS: Raheem Sterling – 7. Had his goal laid on a plate for him by the irrepressible Jesus. AP
Cole Palmer – NA. Had enough time to work up a sweat, without catching the eye in the second half. Reuters
Riyad Mahrez – NA. Made no mistake when clean through on goal, shortly after coming on late on. Getty
NORWICH RATINGS: Tim Krul – 6. Unlucky to have an own goal attributed to him – he could not get out of the way of Hanley’s attempted clearing kick. Reuters
Max Aarons – 6. Not an easy afternoon coping with Grealish and Cancelo, but he did not shirk the task. AP
Grant Hanley – 5. Had a hand in the concession of the opener when he crashed an attempted clearance in off his own keeper. AFP
Ben Gibson – 6. Some dicey clearances spoke of how overworked he and his defensive colleagues were. He did make one strong block, though. Getty
Dimitris Giannoulis – 4. Given a torrid time by Gabriel Jesus and was withdrawn at half time for Mumba. Getty
Billy Gilmour – 6. Entrusted with doing all Norwich’s creative work, but it was hit and miss. Getty
Todd Cantwell – 5. Tried to make things happen, but opportunities to do so were sparse. AFP
Pierre Lees-Melou – 6. Rarely spotted, other than when he was upended by Gundogan and later Jesus. Getty
Lukas Rupp – 4. Chasing shadows as City dominated the first half and made way at the interval for McLean. Getty
Milot Rashica – 7. Was industrious in helping out his defence, most notably when he picked Kyle Walker’s pocket just as he was lining up to shoot. Fired Norwich’s only shot wide. AFP
Teemu Pukki – 5. Cut a lonely figure up front as he rarely saw the ball, let alone any shooting opportunities. Getty
SUBS: Bali Mumba – 7. Made a better fist of coping with Jesus – and later Mahrez – than Giannoulis had managed, as he made some important clearances. Getty
Josh Sargent – NA. On for Teemu Pukki late on, and he saw the ball as little as the player he had replaced.
