Gabriel Jesus and Riyad Mahrez handed Pep Guardiola’s side a 2-0 advantage at the break before a Federico Fernandez own goal, David Silva’s free-kick and Raheem Sterling inflicted a heavy defeat on Steve Bruce’s men.

3. Emil Krafth - 4
Played out of position in central defence after a couple of decent games at right-back, had an uncomfortable evening.

4. Federico Fernandez - 5
Had the club’s only shot on target, but was unusually shaky in defence.
