Manchester City entertained Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium earlier today as they hoped to secure a win at home in the Premier League. Pep Guardiola\u2019s men made a slow start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 35th minute when Brennan Johnson found the back of the net. Joao Palhinha doubled Tottenham\u2019s advantage in the dying embers of the first half as Man City went into the half-time interval 2-0 down on the scoreline.<\/p>\n

The Mancunian giants failed to come up with a response in the second half and crashed to a lackluster 2-0 loss in front of their home supporters.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at how each Manchester City<\/a> player fared during the match against Spurs.<\/p>\n

GK: James Trafford \u2013 5.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trafford made some costly errors at the back but pulled off a few solid saves in the latter stages of the contest.<\/p>\n

RB: Rico Lewis \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He performed his defensive duties well and made one good chance going forward.<\/p>\n

CB: John Stones \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stones put his foot through the ball when he could and was tidy with his passing.<\/p>\n

CB: Ruben Dias \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He made some crucial clearances at the back but failed to keep things solid defensively.<\/p>\n

LB: Rayan Ait-Nouri \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He began the game well but had to go off with an injury in the 22nd minute.<\/p>\n

CDM: Nico Gonzalez \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gonzalez offered decent protection for his teammates at the back, but offered very little going forward.<\/p>\n

RW: Oscar Bobb \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He saw a lot of the ball but lacked the cutting edge in the final third.<\/p>\n

CM: Rayan Cherki \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cherki caught the eye at times but failed to make a difference in the Spurs half.<\/p>\n

CM: Tijjani Reijnders \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was quiet for most of his time on the field.<\/p>\n

LW: Omar Marmoush \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marmoush struggled to find the finishing touch in the first half and was replaced at half-time.<\/p>\n

ST: Erling Haaland \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Haaland caused some problems for the Tottenham defenders but failed to threaten their goal.<\/p>\n

Substitutes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

LB: Nathan Ake \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was far from convincing on the defensive end of the field.<\/p>\n

LW: Jeremy Doku \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Doku added some pace to Guardiola\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n

CM: Bernardo Silva \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

His impact on the game was minimal.<\/p>\n

CM: Rodri \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He struggled to get into the flow of the game.<\/p>\n

RW: Phil Foden \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was toothless in the final third.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
