Ederson Produced pass of the match to Foden, and then a fine save from Wilson - 7
Joao Cancelo Ghostly presence at the far post whenever City attacked - might have had three but was content with an assist for Sterling - 7
Ruben Dias Looked wide open in the early stages but tightened it up at a cost as he was forced off at half-time - 6
Aymeric Laporte Couple of early lapses but he made up for that with the vital second goal - 7
Oleks Zinchenko Some great work on the overlap and in the build-up - has been excellent recently - 8
Rodri Thumping near-post header and imposed his physical presence on the game when it mattered - 7
Ilkay Gundogan Showed his quality for the first two goals and was the perfect foil for De Bruyne - 8
Kevin De Bruyne Absolutely incredible, from minute one, with a big hand in two goals and some stunning work - 9
Raheem Sterling Nodded in the opening goal, added the fifth and was a shimmying, hard-running nightmare for the Toon defence - 8
Gabriel Jesus Did the toughest job, up against two big centre backs, with his usual enthusiasm and zest - 7
Jack Grealish Valuable job out on the City left, continually drawing defenders, and did superbly for fourth goal - 8
Subs
Fernandinho (for Dias at HT) Stunning centre back cameo - 8
Phil Foden (for Jesus 63) Lively and put City 4-0 up - 7
CJ Egan-Riley (for Laporte 87) No time to mark
Not used: Steffen, Ake, Mbete, Bernardo, Mahrez, Palmer
