Manchester City Player Ratings Against Middlesbrough: This Spaniard Unusually The Best Player

DE BRUYNE-7/10

Not a vintage De Bruyne display but provided the all-important killer ball for the goal. City will need him back fresh.

NAVAS-8/10

Saw the majority of the ball and was on target with his crosses and final ball. But his teammates failed to benefit from them today. Hard-working and a thorn in George Friend’s flesh.

AGUERO-7/10

Scored the goal and had a couple of Messi-esque dribbles but missed a glorious opportunity to finish off the game. Hauled off after losing his cool, rightly so.

SUBSTITUTES

NOLITO- 6/10

No positive impact.

GARCIA-NA/10

IHEANACHO-NA/10
