Man City player ratings as Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish excellent vs Wolves

Ederson

One smart near-post save with the score at 1-0 but relatively untroubled after that, with Wolves' failures in front of goal costing them. 7

Stones

Good on the ball but tested defensively as a right-back at times by the marauding Ait-Nouri. Solid positionally in the role, however. 7

Dias

Commanding on his return and made a couple of important blocks and interceptions as Wolves worked up a head of steam after half-time. 8

Akanji

A first Premier League appearance and a solid introduction to English football. He will face tougher tests than a toothless Wolves, however. 7

Cancelo

Linked up really well down the left with Grealish and Bernardo and used the ball intelligently. Occasionally caught out by his advanced positioning. 7

Rodri

Booked in the first half and struggled a little early in the second as Wolves tried to mount an unexpected fightback. Played a key pass in the build-up to the third goal. 6

Bernardo

Combination with Grealish was particularly eye-catching and partnerships down the left are beginning to bear fruit for City. 7

Foden

Took his goal brilliantly and had come close just before that. Also involved in the first goal, but City attacked down the left more often. 7

De Bruyne

Two assists and you can already picture them. Used that overlapping run on the right a couple of times to great effect. 8

Grealish

Repaid Guardiola's support immediately with his first goal of the season. Caused Wolves plenty of problems all afternoon with his trickery and skill. 8

Haaland

Scored again and this time from outside the box with his right foot. Had moments where he wasn't in the game but we're used to that now and who cares if he keeps scoring? 7

Subs

Gundogan

Added more control to midfield. 6

Mahrez

Not much time to have an impact. 6

Alvarez

Energetic when he came on alongside Haaland. 6

Palmer

Not much time to have an impact. 6

Gomez

Not much time to have an impact. 6
