MANCHESTER CITY RATINGS: Stefan Ortega - 6: Had hardly anything to do but had to be bailed out by Rodrigo after under-hitting his pass. Reuters
Kyle Walker - 8: Was brilliant at both ends of the pitch, cutting out Kai Havertz’s pass in a dangerous area and then providing a great cutback for Phil Foden’s goal. Getty
Manuel Akanji - 8: Looked confident throughout and made a potentially awkward situation look simple as he reached a through ball ahead of Havertz. Reached Hakim Ziyech’s cross before Denis Zakaria. AP
Aymeric Laporte - 8: Put in a dominant defensive performance, halting Ziyech after a loose pass from Sergio Gomez, and his presence caused the panic that resulted in Havertz conceding a penalty. AP
Sergio Gomez - 7: Looked vulnerable defensively at times in the first half but attacked well, providing a brilliant turn and cross and keeping the ball well in the build-up to Foden’s goal. Was alert to stop Mason Mount’s attempt in the second period. Reuters
Bernardo Silva - 7: Moved the ball brilliantly in midfield and was happy to receive possession under pressure. Played a nice pass to get Riyad Mahrez into a promising position for his shot in the second half. Booked for a poor challenge on Conor Gallagher. AFP
Rodri - 8: Took an early hit from Havertz but continued to show technique and commitment, winning the ball high for Julian Alvarez’s chance and playing a great switch in the build-up to Foden’s goal. Booked for fouling Mount after being unhappy with the Englishman’s previous challenge. Reuters
Phil Foden - 9: Provided some wonderful touches with one of those being a clinical finish to score City’s third. He also took up some good defensive positions at times and intelligently won the penalty for City’s fourth. Getty
Riyad Mahrez - 9: Gave Lewis Hall a really hard time, luring the left-back into the foul then scoring an exquisite free-kick for the opener. Also held the ball up well before releasing Walker in the build-up to Foden’s goal. Bent a strike agonisingly wide but then scored from the penalty spot. AFP
Julian Alvarez - 8: Marked his first appearance since winning the World Cup with a goal from the penalty spot, although he could have had another as he came agonisingly close to reaching Mahrez’s pass. Worked well and blocked an attempted clearance from Kepa Arrizabalaga. PA
Cole Palmer - 6: Hit the side netting with a shot when there was a clear opportunity to cut the ball back and skied his effort moments later. Showed a willingness to work and moved the ball well in the second half. Reuters
SUBS: Kalvin Phillips (Rodri, 58’) - 7: Cut out some passes well and moved the ball around nicely. Put in a good tackle on Omari Hutchinson. AFP
Joao Cancelo (Gomez, 59’) - 5: Was on the end of a couple of poor challenges but played some wayward passes and was seen off too easily by David Datro Fofana. Needlessly booked for a foul on Trevoh Chalobah. Getty
Rico Lewis (Silva, 86’) – N/R: Was comfortable on the ball, maintaining possession despite a barge from Hutchinson, and coolly stopped a Chelsea counter attempt. Reuters
CHELSEA RATINGS: Kepa Arrizabalaga - 4: Played some poor passes and while he had no chance of stopping the goals from Mahrez or Foden, he’ll be frustrated to have been beaten by Alvarez’s penalty after getting a hand to it. Getty
Trevoh Chalobah - 5: Was turned inside out by Gomez before his cross and allowed Palmer to run off him for the chance, but also put in some good defensive play and picked out some passes well. Reuters
Bashir Humphreys - 6: Dispossessed Silva well in the early stages and looked very comfortable on the ball. Little he could have realistically done about any of the goals. Reuters
Kalidou Koulibaly - 4: Halted Walker in the early stages and put in a great tackle to stop Alvarez, but was unable to stop the City onslaught and clumsily fouled Foden to concede a penalty. EPA
Lewis Hall - 4: Was confident enough to receive the ball in tight areas, but he simply couldn’t keep up with Mahrez in the first half. Got away with a poor pass that went to Alvarez but had a more comfortable second period. Reuters
Conor Gallagher - 5: Put in a lot of defensive effort in the first half, notably dispossessing Palmer after Koulibaly had given the ball away in a dangerous area. Played the pass that released Mount for his chance but was switched between the midfield and right wing-back in the second half. Booked for an overzealous foul on Cancelo. Reuters
Jorginho - 3: Was dispossessed on the edge of his box to give Alvarez a chance and didn’t learn his lesson as he gave the ball away in dangerous positions on various other occasions, even giving away a corner. AFP
Mateo Kovacic - 4: Tried to make things happen but found himself crowded out on a few occasions, while he came nowhere near keeping up with Walker in the build-up to Foden’s goal. AP
Hakim Ziyech - 4: Went down very tamely at times and some of his passes were wayward in a largely ineffective display. AFP
Kai Havertz - 2: Offered absolutely nothing in attacking areas, with a loose pass letting him down when there was an opportunity to shoot and a poor pass wasting an opportunity to counter. Made things worse by handling the ball in his own box to concede the first penalty. Reuters
Mason Mount - 4: Looked ineffective in the first half but showed some fight at the beginning of the second period, hitting a shot that was deflected wide. Soon faded back out of the game. AFP
SUBS: David Datro Fofana (Havertz, HT) - 6: Linked play well and saw off Cancelo in the corner, although he wasn’t able to get in any troubling positions. Getty
Denis Zakaria (Kovacic, HT) - 7: Saw off Palmer well to win a goal kick and gave a good account of himself in midfield, although his shot was blocked by Akanji. Did well to stop Foden running through on goal, then put in a great tackle on Mahrez in his own box. PA
Cesar Azpilicueta (Jorginho, 63’) - 6: Showed his usual commitment to defend well but played a wasteful pass in a promising area. The Spaniard’s frustration was highlighted when he kicked the ball away. EPA
Omari Hutchinson (Ziyech, 63’) - 5: Had some bright moments but lacked precision at times as he hit a tame shot wide and failed to find Carney Chukwuemeka with his attempted pass through. AFP
