Gabriel Jesus – Worrying times for the 19-year-old Brazilian, who had to leave the field after thirteen minutes after damaging his ankle trying to reach a cross. The youngster will be gutted he couldn’t continue his fine start to Premier League life but he will be hoping the injury is nothing too serious. N/A.
Sergio Aguero – After being left on the bench for the third successive Premier League match, he was given his chance when Jesus was forced off. Seemed to be trying too hard at times to make an impact; but class is permanent, and he forced the touch from Mings to double City’s lead with a smart front-post run. 7.
Nicolas Otamendi – Brought on straight after Guardiola’s side doubled their lead to consolidate City’s defence and he did his job well. The second goal took the wind out of Eddie Howe’s side, and he will be hoping to return to the starting line-up for the next game. 6.
Nolito – Only came on in the 92nd minute. N/A.
