Manchester City Players Rated After 2-2 Draw Against Brighton & Hove Albion:
#1 Stefan Ortega: 4/10
#2 Rico Lewis: 7/10
Thrown into the deep end early, Lewis handled Brighton’s pressure admirably. He stepped up to support the midfield when possible.
#3 Abdukodir Khusanov: 4/10
Unlucky to see the ball ricochet off him for Brighton’s second, but City’s backline was shaky all game. He’ll need to sharpen up to avoid being a weak link.
#4 Ruben Dias: 4/10
A rare off-day for the usually rock-solid Dias. He couldn’t stop either goal, with the second exposing City’s nonexistent marking. A performance to forget.
#5 Josko Gvardiol: 5/10
Another sloppy showing from Gvardiol, whose casual play invited Brighton’s opener. He was targeted relentlessly and struggled to cope.
#6 Nico Gonzalez: 5/10
A mixed bag—brilliant in setting up Haaland’s opener, but culpable for the equalizer. His fiery exchange with the ref while on a yellow was a risky move.
#7 Ilkay Gundogan: 5/10
Gundogan’s clever pass teed up Marmoush’s stunner, but he looked adrift in a midfield that once bent to City’s will. A shadow of his former self here.
#8 Omar Marmoush: 9/10
#9 Savinho: 4/10
Flashes of brilliance outside the box fizzled out with poor finishing and a silly yellow card. Promising, but frustrating.
#10 Jeremy Doku: 7/10
Doku buzzed with intent, troubling Brighton’s defense whenever he got the ball. A harsh diving call robbed him of credibility when he was genuinely fouled.
#11 Erling Haaland: 6/10
Ice-cool from the spot to open the scoring, but Brighton’s physical defenders gave him a torrid time otherwise. A quieter day for the goal machine.
Substitutes:
Bernardo Silva (on 58′): 6/10
Injected energy and looked dangerous before an odd decision to haul him off.
Phil Foden (on 76’): 6/10
Kevin De Bruyne (on 86’): N/A
Barely enough time to touch the ball.
