Fabian Schar 7/10
Had looked assured at back for Newcastle but was nutmegged by De Bruyne’s strike for City’s second when he arguably should have closed the City substutute down quicker. AFP
Sven Botman 8/10

Dan Burn 7/10
Left isolated down left ahead of City’s first goal with Gordon still recovering from being floored by Dias. Unfortunate slip resulted in Alvaraz going close for City. Earned assist for second goal witShow more

Bruno Guimaraes 7/10
Needless booking for late challenge on Kovacic in first-half and flirted with red with tackle on Rodi. Lovely ball over top of defence to pick out Isak for Newcastle’s first. Vital tackle denied RodriShow more

Ruben Dias 7/10
Well-timed challenge prevented Isak putting side in front but should have been penalised for dumping Gordon to the floor minutes before City’s opener. EPA
Nathan Ake 7/10
Part of a high City defensive line that Newcastle’s pacy attackers were able to exploit on counter-attack in opening 45 minuters. City’s back four were immaculate in second half, though. AFP
