manchestereveningnews.co.ukEderson Couple of sharp saves, but his passing was better than that of the entire United midfield - 7 Kyle Walker His vigorous, physical style is a perfect fit for all-action derbies like this one - 7 John Stones Gave City more control than Dias would, and was the launching pad for several attacks - 7 Aymeric Laporte Not afraid to mix it when needed, as Maguire discovered - and his passing was key to City's left-sided dominance - 7 Joao Cancelo Not always convincing in defence, but attacked superbly - and if that volley had gone in .....

Utterly brilliant - 9 Riyad Mahrez Felt left out by City's left-side preference so he weighed in with two excellent goals - 9 Jack Grealish This was the player City paid £100million for - dynamic, deliberate, intelligent.
