Man City 5-3 Sunderland player ratings: Brobbey perfect 10 in defeat as Semenyo stars

Brian Brobbey's hat-trick — his first goals of the season for Sunderland — earned the Dutchman a perfect 10 in the player ratings for Manchester City's 5-3 Premier League win at the Etihad, even though he left with the match ball and no points. Antoine Semenyo (9) and Rayan Cherki (8) led the way for City, while Erling Haaland ended an unwanted statistic with a late goal after Sunderland had been the only Premier League side he had never scored against.

Manchester City

Gianluigi Donnarumma 5 — Could do little about any of Sunderland's goals but was all over the place when coming out for high balls into the box.
Matheus Nunes 5 — Was napping when a ball came over the top, allowing Angulo to sneak in behind and lay a pass off for Brobbey to finish.
Rúben Dias 5 — Not the captain's best game. Caught flat-footed for Brobbey's opening goal and beaten to the ball in the middle of the park on another occasion. Did make a remarkable goalline clearance to prevent an own goal.
Marc Guéhi 5 — Will have an assist alongside his name but an otherwise uncomfortable afternoon for the England international.
Joško Gvardiol 6 — Failed to close down Enzo Le Fée for Sunderland's second goal but provided the cross for Haaland's goal.
Elliot Anderson 6 — The former Newcastle man was jeered throughout by the travelling Sunderland fans, but made more passes than any other player on the pitch.
Enzo Fernández 7 — Curled in a delightful free-kick for his first City goal and the crafty Argentine saw plenty of the ball in the pockets outside the box. Becoming a fans' favourite with the “Enzo, Enzo” chant.
Iliman Ndiaye 6 — Started in place of the suspended Phil Foden and was lively throughout. Unlucky not to get an assist after laying a ball on to Haaland with the goal gaping.
Antoine Semenyo 9 — Back in form. Twice thumped home for his first goals of the season and kept the ball alive to poke through a pass for Cherki's goal.
Rayan Cherki 8 — Near his best in this game with some delightful touches. Quick feet and trickery helped create chances, and he stayed cool to stroke home City's second goal in the first half.
Erling Haaland 6 — Sunderland had been the only Premier League team the Norwegian had not scored against. Looked like staying that way when he missed an easy opportunity in the first half, but he ended that run with a finish late on.

Subs: Jérémy Doku (on 74 for Ndiaye) 6 — returned from a calf injury for his first league minutes this season. Nico O'Reilly (on 85 for Cherki) 6 — should have scored seconds after coming on.

Sunderland

Robin Roefs 4 — Will be disappointed for the first goal. Tried to anticipate Fernández sending in a cross but instead found himself being beaten at his near post.
Nordi Mukiele 5 — A tough game up against Semenyo, who scored twice.
Kevin Danso 5 — Poor clearance contributed to City winning the ball back high up the pitch for Cherki's goal.
Dan Ballard 5 — Part of a backline that conceded three goals in the opening 45 minutes.
Dayann Methalie 5 — Booked inside 10 minutes of his Premier League debut and given a difficult game by Ndiaye.
Granit Xhaka 6 — The skipper helped his side get back on level terms twice in the game, but ultimately went home with nothing.
Noah Sadiki 6 — Eyes opened up when he found space to shoot after darting forward, but blazed his effort high and wide.
Thomas Meunier 7 — The former Belgium international could have had a shot for the second goal but instead laid it on a plate for Brobbey to finish.
Enzo Le Fée 8 — The French passmaster fizzed a lovely ball into the feet of Brobbey for Sunderland's equaliser and his cleverly disguised pass led to his side's second.
Nilson Angulo 6 — Could have made a name for himself but scuffed a golden chance wide in the opening five minutes. Provided the assist for Brobbey's third goal.
Brian Brobbey 10 — The hat-trick hero. Three finishes from close range but the Dutchman will be gutted at leaving with the match ball but no points.

Subs: Malick Fofana (on 60 for Angulo) 6 — unable to showcase his talent in the half an hour he was on the field. Wilson Isidor (on 68 for Sadiki) 6 — Régis Le Bris went for it with two up top but the Haitian could not find a goal. Trai Hume (on 79 for Meunier) 6.
