Ederson
Couldn’t do much with either goal and left badly exposed by the chaos unfolding in front of him. 6
Walker
Played with an aggression in his game and continued that after being carded. Tried to get his team going and his commitment should have got Hwang a red card. 6
Akanji
A real mixed bag. One vital second-half interception to deny the lively Neto a run on goal and a big first-half block to stop Hwang’s effort. But sloppy in possession and poor for the second goal. 5
Dias
Made some good contributions going forward but caught out at times defensively, especially for the second goal when he couldn’t react quickly enough. 6
Ake
Usually so adept at stopping right-wingers, but Neto did what Salah and Saka have so often struggled to do. Ake had a nightmare afternoon. 4
Kovacic
Sloppy in possession for the first goal and couldn’t offer the control that Rodri is so adept at. Better alongside the Spaniard rather than replacing him. 5
Nunes
Hammered by the Wolves fans throughout the first half but kept asking for the ball. Laid a big chance on a plate for Haaland. Very unlucky to be taken off at half-time. 6
Foden
Took up a lot of similar positions to Alvarez and the game was too congested for City at times. Pressed hard, won the ball back for one good chance in the first half. 5
Alvarez
Struggled to get in the game in the first half but did improve a little bit after the break. His free-kicks have looked dangerous for a while and his goal was sublime. 6
Doku
City’s liveliest attacker in the first half, his pace and direct running actually brought something to the team that they were badly missing, but end product not always there. 6
Haaland
Should probably score when the game is goalless and then a tame shot in the second half after good work from Bobb. Marked out of the game really. 5
Substitutes
Bobb
A brave call to bring him on. Created a chance for Haaland and won the free-kick from which Alvarez scored, but a difficult game to come into. 6
Phillips
Came on to offer some control to a game that was being stretched and City then went and conceded. Not Phillips’ fault but sums up his time at the club. 5
