# Player Ratings: Manchester City vs Norwich

Not the best of performances but a hard fought victory which secured the three points nonetheless. A reality check perhaps too – as this season isn’t going to be plain sailing.

Manchester City player ratings here:

**Joe Hart:** Tough one because before he dropped the ball that caused their equaliser he had been solid, redeemed himself with an excellent save at 2-1: **6.5**

**Bacary Sagna**: Few wayward crosses but generally steady. Him and Navas were involved a fair bit down their side: **6.5**

**Vincent Kompany:** Didn’t do anything wrong, made a few good interceptions and played it well on the floor: **7**

**Nicolas Otamendi:** Excellent showing. Stalwart defensively and his header was a thing of beauty. Tackled brilliantly too, has Vincent Kompany found his partner?: **8.5**

**Aleksandar Kolarov:** Few nice crosses in that weren’t met, should have done better with the penalty: **6**

**Fernandinho**: Good showing, tackled well and mopped up in-front of the back-four nicely: **7**

**Yaya Touré:** Seriously love this guy. Big moment player and he did it again with a cool penalty when it really mattered: **7**

**Jesus Navas:** Didn’t provide much going forward, hope he isn’t going back to his usual,wasteful self: **6**

**Kevin De Bruyne:** Had a quieter game than on Wednesday, still managed an assist from the wonderful corner in: **6.5**

**Wilfried Bony:** Poor today. Wasteful in front of goal and even greedy at times. Frustrating: **5.5**

**Kelechi Iheanacho:** Almost like playing with 10 men in the first half as he couldn’t get into it, maybe the hype got to his head? Hope not: **6**

**SUBS:**

**Raheem Sterling:** Good half hour, won two penalties and looked lively. Should be played next time: **7**

**Fernando:** Wasn’t on for long enough but allowed Yaya to venture forward: **N/A**

**Martin Demichelis: N/A**
