• Max Aarons

The run in behind Joe Mattock made up Todd Cantwell's mind, but the deft headed flick was sublime. 8
• Christoph Zimmermann
Hands full with the towering Michael Smith aerially. 7
• Timm Klose
Organised City's backline during testing spells in the second half. 7

• Jamal Lewis
Bizarrely hooked late on in a case of mistaken identity. Offered an attacking threat in the first half with a number of overlapping bursts. Did a number on Anthony Forde. 7
• Alex Tettey
Solid, unfussy. The anchor to let others express themselves. 7
• Mario Vrancic
Gorgeous reverse pass freed Teemu Pukki to carve out an assist for Cantwell. Much more progressive after the interval. Crunching tackle teed up Emi Buendia. 7
• Emi Buendia
Cut a frustrated figure in the first half. Stinging shot late on parried by Marek Rodak. 7
• Marco Stiepermann
For every ball that bounces off him there is a telling contribution. Desire and athleticism robbed Semi Ajayi to roll in Pukki for a routine finish to seal the win. 8
• Todd Cantwell
City's second half catalyst. Whipped a right footed shot into the opposite corner to open his goal account for the club. Then the confidence to drive forward and conjure a wonderfully precise assist for Max Aarons. 9
• Teemu Pukki
Could have easily helped himself to a matchball in the final quarter. Did add another assist and goal to his growing tally. Selfless work to harry centre backs should not go unnoticed. 8
