Seamus Coleman 6/10
EVERTON SUBS. (On for Godfrey, 56'): Picked up where Godfrey left off in the battle with Doku on the flank. Beto (on for Calvert-Lewin, 78'): N/A; Onana (on for Young, 78'): N/A; Chermiti (on for GueyShow more
Ederson 6/10
CITY RATINGS. Made a meal of first-half injury after challenge with Godfrey. Otherwise a quiet day. AP
John Stones 6/10
City will be delighted to have him over his recent injury problems. Defensively responsible and some ambitious passing. AP
Ruben Dias 7/10
Guilty of being too eager to have a fight with Calvert-Lewin at times. Won key header in prelude to Haaland's breakthrough. AP
Manuel Akanji 6/10
Defensively solid and neat and tidy but guilty of slowing the play down when involved in build-up. Not a huge shock to see him sacrificed for De Bruyne before the hour. Getty Images
Nathan Ake 7/10
Dutchman is having a good season and was arguably the pick of City's defenders. AP
Rodri 7/10
Solid as per usual but distribution was too prosaic early on. City looked more dangerous when he played direct and early into wide men. Getty Images
Matheus Nunes 5/10
Still finding his feet at the club with his opportunities limited. Did little here to suggest he will be a regular in the near future. AP
Phil Foden 6/10
Peripheral when out on the right with the ball mostly being to fed to Doku on the other flank. Dangerous when coming inside and getting involved. AP
Julian Alvarez 5/10
Butchered chance to find Haaland after rare Tarkowski error before half-time. PA
Jeremy Doku 6/10
Saw plenty of the ball but with Godfrey and Young doubling up his impact was limited. AP
Erling Haaland 8/10
Anonymous first half with Everton compact and City struggling to create. Smashed home the breakthrough when chance fell his way, muscular second made game safe. PA
Kyle Walker 7/10
CITY SUBS. (On for Nunes, 57'): Added that extra width on the right. His cross led to series of corners where City made the breakthrough. PA
Kevin De Bruyne 7/10
(On for Akanji, 57'): Would improve any side so no surprise to see him change the game and create the second. Silva (for Alvarez, 78'): N/A; Grealish (for Doku, 87'). Getty Images
Jordan Pickford 6/10
EVERTON RATINGS. Some smart distribution, blameless for the goals. Reuters
Ben Godfrey 7/10
Dealt admirably with the tricky Doku until being forced off with injury. Getty Images
James Tarkowski 7/10
Really determined display from the Everton skipper with several vital blocks and clearances. Getty Images
Jarrad Branthwaite 6/10
Had a good game, blocking and clearing everything but will be disappointed to have been outmuscled by Haaland for 2-0. PA
Vitaliy Mykolenko 6/10
Ukrainian defender had a solid game with City mostly choosing to attack down the opposite flank. AFP
Ashley Young 6/10
Started on the right of midfield but role was chiefly about helping deal with the lively Doku. Getty Images
James Garner 6/10
Never stopped running and denying the home side space to operate. Getty Images
Idrissa Gueye 7/10
Key component of the gameplan that frustrated City for so long. Broke up play and pressed tirelessly. AP
Dwight McNeil 6/10
Worked hard with Mykolenko to shut down City's right side. Didn't offer much going forward. Overhit early crossing opportunity with Calvert-Lewin lurking. Getty Images
Jack Harrison 7/10
Worked his socks off behind Calvert Lewin with some intelligent pressing helping them win the ball back high up. Getty Images
Dominic Calvert-Lewin 6/10
Put in a shift as the visitors' lone striker but could have looked after the ball better and made some poor decisions. APSeamus Coleman 6/10
