Mason Mount (On for Alonso 81’) – N/A. Not given enough time to effect the game. EPA
MANCHESTER CITY PLAYER RATINGS: Ederson – 7. Rarely called into action but pulled off a strong save to deny Lukaku early in the second half. Getty Images
Kyle Walker – 7. A solid display from the England full-back who carried out his defensive duties and offered another outlet on the right flank. EPA
Joao Cancelo – 7. Played a lovely pass to De Bruyne to set up City’s opener and was solid in defence and helped keep Pulisic quiet. EPA
Aymeric Laporte – 7. Marshalled his defence well to help limit Chelsea to just one shot on target. Produced a point-blank block on Werner soon after De Bruyne’s goal. EPA
John Stones – 7. Slotted in seamlessly on just his seventh league start of the season, helping Laporte to nullify Lukaku’s threat. EPA
Rodri – 7. Spaniard had a comfortable outing in the anchor role as City dominated possession and seemed to outnumber the Chelsea midfield. EPA
Bernardo Silva – 7. A trademark all-action display from the Portugal international, and while he may not have dominated the game, there were a few flicks and touches that displayed his class. Reuters
Kevin De Bruyne – 8. Broke the deadlock with an absolute worldie, curling a shot from outside the area and leaving Kepa no chance. His fifth goal against Chelsea to deepen the regret his former club must be feeling for letting him leave. AFP
Phil Foden – 7. Lively all afternoon, drifting across the attacking line as City continue to operate with a fluid front three. Snatched at a chance to make it 2-0. Getty Images
Raheem Sterling – 8. Posed a constant threat and bullied Alonso all game. The England forward, recently named Premier League player of the month, continues his fine form. EPA
Jack Grealish – 6. The least dangerous of City’s front three, the £100m man had a couple of decent chances to score but was unable to convert. PA
SUBS: Ilkay Gundogan (On for De Bruyne 85’) – N/A. Brought on to provide fresh legs in the final few minutes. AP
Gabriel Jesus (On for Foden 88’) – N/A. Reuters
CHELSEA PLAYER RATINGS: Kepa Arrizabalaga – 7. Produced a big save with his leg to deflect a Grealish effort wide in the first half but had no hope with De Bruyne’s goal. The Spaniard is looking more assured these days. PA
Malang Sarr – 7. Good performance from the Frenchman who had to deal with his share of attacks thanks to his flank being regularly targeted by City. Getty Images
Antonio Rudiger – 8. Read the game superbly – cutting off City attacks, sticking in challenges, and intercepting crosses. Chelsea really need him to sign a new deal. PA
Thiago Silva – 6. Usually the epitome of composure, the Brazilian never quite looked at his comfortable best at the Etihad. Probably could have closed De Bruyne down sooner for the Belgian's goal. EPA
Cesar Azipilicueta – 6. Had his hands full against City’s attack and had few chances to venture forward. On the rare occasion he did, his crossing only found City heads. Reuters
Marcos Alonso – 5. Run ragged by Sterling during the first half and never looked comfortable defensively. Had few chances to get forward, with City controlling so much of the ball. Subbed for last 10 minutes. AP
N’Golo Kante – 6. The Frenchman’s positioning, tackling, and energy were vital to Chelsea containing City for much of the match, but he was too easily shrugged off by De Bruyne for the goal. AP
Mateo Kovacic – 7. Once again the pick of the Chelsea midfielders, the Croatian was the most likely to make something happen – if only his team had more of the ball. Reuters
Hakim Ziyech – 5. Rarely got on the ball and provided little threat in attack. Replaced in a double substitution with Pulisic. Reuters
Christian Pulisic – 5. An anonymous display from the American forward as City dominated possession. Swapped with just over 20 minutes to play. Getty Images
Romelu Lukaku – 5. Starved of service in the first half but had a great chance early in the second, which Ederson palmed away. Kept quiet for most of the game Getty Images
SUBS: Timo Werner (On for Pulisic 69’) – 6. Had a good chance to pull Chelsea level swiftly after conceding but shot straight at Laporte. Reuters
Callum Hudson-Odoi (On for Ziyech 69’) – 5. Opened up space on the left wing but was too wasteful in his final delivery. Reuters
