CHELSEA RATINGS: Edouard Mendy – 8. Returned in goal and was able to leave much of the defending duties to his backline for the first half. Couldn’t do much about the Jesus’ deflected goal. Produced a great save in the second half to keep Grealish out. Denied Grealish again with 10 minutes to go. EPA
Cesar Azpilicueta – 7. Yet to miss a Premier League game this season and produced a number of optimistic crosses, though largely unable to find his man. Did well during an onslaught of City attacks during stages of the game. AFP
Andreas Christensen – 7. Part of a back three and faced a challenge against Grealish but did well against him. Booked. AFP
Antonio Rudiger – 7. Another yet to miss a minute of the Premier League this season and provided further proof of why the German is so highly-rated. Defensively solid with the odd signature charging run to brush off City players to wake up Werner. Booked. Reuters
Reece James – N/A. Returned as wing-back in the Chelsea line-up after scoring the winning penalty in the League Cup but saw his game cut short after picking up an injury. Getty
N’Golo Kante – 6. After scoring off the bench versus Spurs at the weekend and picking up valuable game time in the cup, Kante saw moments of form including getting the better of Rodri but otherwise had to stick with defending duties. Getty
Jorginho – 6. Last season’s top scorer looking to start his season but had to be patient with City on the front foot which saw the Italian happy to do his fair share of defensive duties and clearances. Couldn’t do much about his deflection for City's goal. AFP
Mateo Kovacic – 7. Took a while to get going with his team on the backfoot but played in Werner as Chelsea looked for an equaliser but the ball just had too much on it. Produced a storming run on the counter-attack to stretch City in the second half. AFP
Marcos Alonso – 7. Continues to be preferred on the left side and played a lovely pass in the first 15 minutes to send Werner into City’s half. Did well with a poor ball from Mendy, which saw him surrounded by light blue shirts and handled Jesus well in early stages. Booked. AFP
Romelu Lukaku – 4. With Man City’s high press, the Belgium international struggled to get going in the first half. Thought he had scored the equaliser after Havertz played in Lukaku but the former was offside. A tough day from the front two as Chelsea let City dominate the game. Reuters
Timo Werner – 6. Has seen limited game time since the arrival of Lukaku but returned to the starting line-up. Could have had a shot in the first 15 minutes after being set on a run by Alonso. Saw his shot minutes later blocked by Walker. EPA
SUBS: Thiago Silva (On for James 29’) - 7. Didn’t start after picking up a minor knock in training. A lovely ball to Azpilicueta just before half-time. Produced a goal line clearance to stop Jesus doubling City’s tally as Mendy was unable to push away the ball. Getty
Kai Havertz (On for Kante 60’) - N/A. Dropped to the bench before the game but came on as Chelsea looked to find a way back into the game.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek (On for Jorginho 76’) N/A. Played his first minutes of this Premier League campaign. EPA
MANCHESTER CITY RATINGS: Ederson – 7. Didn’t have much to do in the first half but the 28-year-old was confident when called upon. Decisive punch away to clear a late long ball to Havertz. EPA
Kyle Walker – 7. Rarely spent time defending in his own half for the first 45 minutes and was comfortable with the ball throughout. Once again, pace being his strongest attribute stopping a counter attack in its tracks. EPA
Ruben Dias – 7. Yet to miss a minute this season in the Premier League for City and saw his shot before half-time deflected by Rudiger. Produced an important sliding block to keep Kovacic’s second half shot out. Booked. Getty
Amyeric Laporte – 7. Passed a late fitness test to start in place of Ake. Couldn’t convert a pass from De Bruyne in the last ten minutes as he stretched for the ball. Booked after finding himself the wrong side of Lukaku. Reuters
Joao Cancelo – 7. Continuing the play as left back as Zinchenko is ruled out and had a busy game as City continued to play a high press. Saw his shot blocked just after the restart. AFP
Kevin De Bruyne – 6. Probably not one of the games you would expect to see from the Belgium as he struggled to find his form as he still recovers from an ankle injury. AFP
Rodri – 7. City will be relieved to have the Spaniard back from injury. All over the pitch as Chelsea struggled to handle the presence of him and Silva in the middle of the park. Saw shot deflected over by Rudiger in the first half. EPA
Phil Foden – 7. Chosen to start against Chelsea after a brief cameo last weekend and you would not have known he had missed the summer through injury as he linked-up with his teammates to pressure Chelsea’s defence. AFP
Gabriel Jesus – 8. A lively start by the Brazilian to test Alonso during the early stages. Grabbed his second goal of the Premier League season with a turn and shot, which took a deflection off Jorginho to give Mendy no chance. AFP
Bernando Silva – 8. Silva dropped back to allow Jesus and Grealish to run the front line but that didn’t mean the Portuguese international was anything less than busy. As with Rodri, found himself all over the pitch and a key part of everything City were doing. Getty
Jack Grealish – 7. Proved to be a real handful on the wing giving James and Christensen a tough time. Saw his curling shot round the post just after the restart. Forced Mendy to get low to produce an important save to stop City doubling the lead. AFP
SUBS: Raheem Sterling - (On for Grealish 87’) N/A. Came on to make his 300th appearance for City. EPA
