Manchester City entertained Everton at the Etihad Stadium earlier today as they hoped to earn a good result at home in the Premier League. Pep Guardiola’s men made a good start to the game, but were held to a scoreless draw at the half-time break.
Erling Haaland scored a quick-fire brace early in the second half as Man City cruised to a solid 2-0 win at the Etihad.
Let’s take a look at how each Manchester City player fared during the game against the Toffees.
GK: Gianluigi Donnarumma – 7/10
He made one good save at the back and secured an important clean sheet at home.
RB: Matheus Nunes – 8/10
Nunes performed his defensive duties well and was a threat going forward.
CB: Ruben Dias – 7/10
He was a rock at the back and was accurate with his ball distribution.
CB: Nathan Ake – 7/10
Ake put his foot through the ball when required and was a strong presence in the air.
