Man City player ratings vs Fulham as Julian Alvarez wonder goal sends Blues top of Premier League

Ederson: Nearly caused calamity running into Dias in the second half but dramatically rescued the situation. 6

Walker: Enjoyed some long diagonals to Grealish and used his pace well in tricky situations. 7

Dias: His poorest game for a while as he was unsettled by the Fulham attack. 6

Stones: Looked good moving into midfield but stuttered under pressure in the second half. 7

Akanji: Looked lax for Fulham's goal and had other scares, but also made important contributions. 6

Rodri: Had a real battle on his hands in a physical game but dealt well with most of what came his way. 7

Gundogan: Worked well with Rodri to keep some control in midfield and supported that attack. 7

Alvarez: The matchwinner - won the penalty and then scored a worldie. 8

Mahrez: Started brightly but struggled to see any of the ball in the second half. 6

Grealish: Unlucky to see a first-half effort turned onto the crossbar and never stopped running. 7

Haaland: The penalty was well-taken and there was some nice link-up with Grealish. 7
