Trending
Claudio Bravo: 6/10
Bravo was helpless in preventing any of the three goals scored by Celtic. Never looked like making a mistake when on the ball despite Celtic's pressure.
Pablo Zabaleta: 5/10
Struggled to match Sinclair's pace and was often beaten by the winger. Moved further up the pitch as the second half progressed but produced nothing that needs mentioning.
Nicolas Otamendi: 5/10
Otamendi has had better games this season. He made it far too easy for the Celtic attack in the first half although the Argentine did improve as the game went on.
Aleksandar Kolarov: 4/10
Questions will be asked as to why Kolarov is being played at centre-back as the Serbian was woeful in the opening half. Moved to his preferred left-back position in the second half.
Gael Clichy: 6/10
Kept tight to Forrest down the left-hand side but offered little in the attacking department. Replaced by Stones for the final 20 minutes.
Fernandinho: 7/10
Continues to star for City as he has been this season. Scored his team's first equaliser with a clever finish, while cutting out the Celtic threat on the counter. Was provided more freedom after Fernando came on to the pitch.
Ilkay Gundogan: 5.5/10
The German endured a frustrating game as he was given no room to manoeuvre by a miserly Celtic midfield.
David Silva: 6/10
Usually the maestro in City's midfield, Silva lacked the space to provide a cutting-edge pass that he is capable of. Moved to a wider position towards the end of the game.
Nolito: 6.5/10
Was made to work hard to find space thanks to a watchful Lustig. Finished into an opening net to score City's third but was otherwise ineffective for the rest of the match. Brought off for the final 15 minutes to help his side move into a more defensive structure.
Raheem Sterling: 7.5/10
Manchester City's brightest spark in attack. Sterling was unfortunate to be awarded an own goal to his name, but the 21-year-old shrugged off the disappointment to cleverly score at the other end. His pace and trickery was a constant threat on the right-flank.
Sergio Aguero: 5/10
Credit must be given to the Celtic defence for keeping the Argentine at bay. Aguero enjoyed no freedom on the ball as the Hoops defenders kept a close watch on him whenever he was on the ball.
Substitutes
John Stones: 5/10
Brought on in the second half to sure up a leaky defence and did just that.
Fernando: 4/10
Replaced Nolito with less than 15 minutes to play and played just in front of the back four, allowing Fernandinho to move further forward.
