Premier League: Man City cruise to statement win at 10-man Liverpool - reaction What do BBC Sport's player ratings mean?
Published 21 August Liverpool Alisson: Could do nothing to keep out Erling Haaland's strike then beaten by a beauty from Jeremy Doku and some solid footwork from Rayan Cherki.
5 Ronald Araujo: Got a cheap yellow card early on and will be annoyed that the first two Man City goals came from his side.
5 Virgil van Dijk: Often pushed out of position to help Liverpool deal with getting outnumbered in midfield.
Perhaps could have closed Haaland down quicker.
6 Jeremy Jacquet: Wasn't a bad display from a young talent who is very impressive but this must have been a real eye-opener against a quality City attack.
6 Milos Kerkez: Battled well with Iliman Ndiaye and pushed up regularly but lacked quality in the final third.
5 Alexis Mac Allister: Grew into the game and put in a good shift but struggled once Liverpool went down to 10 men.
5 Ryan Gravenberch: Came in for the injured Dominik Szoboszlai and was Liverpool's best player until he got sent off for a second yellow card.
Naive on his part.
6 Victor Munoz: Played with such a fearlessness and was an absolute nuisance for Man City, causing Nico O'Reilly all sorts of problems.
7 Florian Wirtz: Simply has to do better, particularly in games of this magnitude.
Was largely ineffective and made some poor decisions.
4 Bradley Barcola: Sharp on the ball and did his defensive duties but, like Wirtz, must to do more in the final third.
5 Lewis Koumas: Making his first Premier League start and the 21-year-old got stuck in from the outset in an energetic display that was loved by the Anfield crowd.
7 Subs: Nyoni (on 66, Wirtz): 6 Frimpong (on 75, Araujo): 5 Ngumoha (on 75, Koumas): 5 Gomez (on 88, Jacquet) Chiesa (on 88, Barcola) Subs not used: Mamardashvili, Endo, Tsimikas, McConnell, Manchester City Gianluigi Donnarumma: Had a shaky start but made a string of good saves early in the second half to deny Koumas and Gravenberch and keep the game level.
7 Matheus Nunes: An impressive display and made a great tackle in the box to deny Barcola in the first half.
7 Ruben Dias: Did well to weather the early storm and keep Liverpool out.
7 Marc Guehi: Like Dias, a strong performance at centre-half and can take satisfaction from the way they defended, especially when Liverpool attacked The Kop end.
7 Nico O'Reilly: Solid going forward but had his work cut out against Munoz and was inevitably booked when he fouled the Spaniard in the second-half.
6 Elliot Anderson: Always showed for the ball and constantly involved but lucky not to get booked for pulling Gravenberch back.
Got the assist for Doku.
7 Enzo Fernandez: Forced Alisson to make a good stop in the first half but didn't really grow into the game until Gravenberch was sent off.
6 Iliman Ndiaye: Dangerous on the ball and had a few threatening moments before he was replaced by Doku.
6 Rayan Cherki: Capped off a day to remember for Man City with a lovely goal.
8 Antoine Semenyo: Threatening all afternoon and part of an attack that was simply too good for Liverpool once City had the man advantage.
7 Erling Haaland: Had a quiet first half and missed a huge chance early on in the second half but finished emphatically to give City the lead.
8 Subs: Doku (on 56, Ndiaye): Came on and scored an absolute belter.
8 Gvardiol (on 66, O'Reilly): 7 Allan (on 80, Haaland): Bouaddi (on 84, Fernandez): Subs not used: Rulli, Kovacic, Reis, Khusanov, Lewis How did you rate the players?
