MANCHESTER CITY RATINGS: Ederson - 6 Lucky to not have been sent off in the first half after he came out of his box but clearly missed the ball and fouled Werner in the process. Was hardly tested for the entirety of the match.

John Stones - 7 An impressive performance in an unfamiliar role on the right side of defence. Did his defensive duty well and added an extra body to City’s midfield.
AP
Nathan Ake - 8 showed great vision to play Haaland through on goal with a pass from his own half in the 11th minute. Kept Konrad quiet on the right hand side.
AFP
Manuel Akanji - 8 Began the move that led to the second goal by winning his aerial challenge and finding De Bruyne close to the Leipzig penalty area. Met a corner with a smart side-footed shot which the goalkeeper punched into the path of Haaland for City’s sixth.
Reuters
Ruben Dias - 8 Played a huge part in the third goal by winning the header that came off the crossbar and which eventually fell into the path of Haaland. Hardly put a foot wrong in defence.
Getty
Rodri - 7 Almost gifted Leipzig a way back into the match when he played a dire pass into the path of Forsberg in the 35th minute. Successfully broke up the few counter-attacks Leipzig managed.
Getty
Bernardo Silva - 7 Helped City dominate the right wing with his intelligent play and combination with De Bruyne.
Reuters
Ilkay Gundogan - 8 Blazed high and wide from close range when he was found in the box by De Bruyne early in the game. Couldn’t beat the goalkeeper when he was played through on goal again by De Bruyne in the 35th minute. Grabbed a well deserved goal by scoring the fourth four minutes into the second half.
PA
Kevin De Bruyne - 9 Assisted Haaland for the second goal by hitting a spectacular left-footed shot which came off the crossbar for the Norwegian to head into an empty net. Capped off an impressive performance by rounding off the scoring in the last minute.
Action Images
Jack Grealish - 7 Failed to get past Henrichs several times in the first half and crowned it all by diving when he had just one man to beat in the 35th minute. Made his first real positive impact by assisting Gundogan for City’s fourth goal.
AFP
Erling Haaland - 10 A five-star performance. A penalty kick to open the scoring, three rebounds, one lucky ball that came off his shin and into the net saw the Norwegian become the third player to score five goals in a single Champions League game after Lionel Messi and Luiz Adriano.

SUBS: Phil Foden (Grealish, 55) - 6 Could have had an assist just two minutes after coming on but the goalkeeper denied Mahrez from close range.
PA
Riyad Mahrez (Gundogan, 55) - 7 Got close to getting his name on the scoresheet with his first touch but was denied by the goalkeeper. Assisted De Bruyne with a pass in-field for the seventh. Getty
Julian Alvarez (Haaland, 63) - 5 Had a number of half chances after coming on but couldn't get his name on the scoresheet. AP
Sergio Gomez (Stones, 64) - 6 Replaced Stones at right back and did well. Action Images
Kalvin Phillips (Rodri, 64) - 5 Helped keep things ticking in midfield. AFP
RB LEIPZIG RATINGS: Janis Blaswich - 6 Guessed right for Haaland’s penalty but the pace on the ball was too much. Made five saves in the first half to keep the scoreline respectable. Unlucky to concede seven.
Action Images
David Raum - 5 Got caught ball watching as De Bruyne played Gundogan through on goal in the 40th minute. Failed to deal with several crosses from De Bruyne.
Getty
Benjamin Henrichs - 6 Defended well against Grealish when City were piling up the pressure in search of an early goal. Must have felt aggrieved after the referee decided to penalise him for what looked like a harsh handball in the box while contesting a header.
Reuters
Willi Orban - 4 Breathed a sigh of relief after Haaland outmuscled and outran him but then failed to beat goalkeeper early in the game. Should have done better to stop Akanji from taking the shot that led to City’s sixth goal.
Getty
Josko Gvardiol - 4 Allowed Dias a free header which came off the bar and into the path of Haaland for City's third goal. Guilty of several errors under pressure from attackers in the second half.
Action Images
Kevin Kampl - 4 Should have done more to stop De Bruyne from taking the shot that led to City’s second goal. Got overwhelmed alongside Haidara in midfield.
Action Images
Amadou Haidara - 4 Had a good chance to reduce the two-goal deficit when he was found in the box but could only manage a tame shot at Ederson’s goal. Struggled against City’s midfield.
PA
Konrad Laimer - 4 A very quiet night on the right side of attack as he failed to get the better of Ake on the few times he had a chance to go past him.
AFP
Emil Forsberg - 5 Overhit what looked like a simple pass to set up Werner for a tap-in in the 35th minute. Struggled to get on the ball and create anything for his teammates.
AP
Dominik Szobozlai - 5 Played a good cross into the box which Haidara failed to take advantage of in the first half. Did very little until he was subbed off.
EPA
Timo Werner - 6 Worked hard. Almost got on the end of an overhit Forsberg pass in the 35th minute.

SUBS: Yussuf Poulsen (Werner, 63) - 5 Hardly had a sniff at goal.

Andre Silva (Forsberg, 63) - 6 Had a decent effort on goal in the 78th minute. AFP
