SUB: Cole Palmer (For Torres 72’): 8 - The youngster caused problems for a tiring Wycombe defence at the end of the match, looking confident on the ball and capping his cameo with a well finished strike late on. Getty Images

MANCHESTER CITY RATINGS: Zack Steffen: 6 - Steffen had little to do in goal and could do little to deny the Wycombe opener. His ability to play and look comfortable in possession was impressive throughout. Getty Images

CJ Egan-Riley: 6 - The right-back was unable to have as much impact going forward as his full-back counterpart, but still had a relatively solid game and looked comfortable in possession. Getty

Finley Burns: 6 - Burns did the basics well at times such as heading the ball out of play rather than taking the risk of trying to play it out. However, he was one of a couple of players that lost track of Hanlan for the opener. Reuters

Luke Mbete: 6 - The young defender had a baptism of fire on his debut against Akinfenwa. He struggled at times but was an important part of the build-up on the ball. He was one of three that left Hanlan free for the Wycombe opener. Getty Images

Josh Wilson-Esbrand: 7 - The full-back often pushed high on the left, looking brave on the ball in taking on the opposition when he could. He grabbed an assist with some fantastic patience to beat the wing-back and then pick out Mahrez in the box. Getty Images

Romeo Lavia: 6 - Lavia controlled the midfield well in possession, occasionally finding time and space to pick out a pass. He did look erratic at times though, losing the majority of his duels and picking up a rash yellow card in the first half. Getty Images

Kevin De Bruyne: 7 - The midfielder looked a driving force in midfield, trying to drag his side from a goal down and scoring a great individual goal to equalise in the first half. He continually caused problems for the Wycombe shape. Reuters

Phil Foden: 9 - Foden always looked a threat, gliding into pockets of space with the ball and creating space for others. He grabbed two assists and a goal with a powerful strike from the edge of the box in the first half. Getty Images

Raheem Sterling: 5 - Sterling provided a threat on the left, often taking on his opposition wing-back but just lacking the end product to grab himself a goal on the night. Reuters

Ferran Torres: 6 - The 21-year-old offered little up front, looking flat with the chances he did have in front of goal until scoring from close range in the second half from a great Foden cross. Getty Images

Riyad Mahrez: 8 - Mahrez grabbed two goals and an assist, looking a class above when allowed to cut in and shoot from his flank. Getty Images

SUB: James McAtee (For Wilson-Esbrand 72’): 6 - McAtee entered the fray late on to add fresh legs on the ball and whilst he got a few touches on it, he had little to do as the game dragged towards its conclusion. Getty Images
