How we rated the Irons v Man City
Hugh hands out his marks
Fabianski: Little to do in the first half but apart from an unstoppable equaliser he was outstanding on three or four occasions in a nerve wracking second 45. 8
Couval: What a signing at £4 million. Great cross for Antonio’s goal and excellent at both ends of the pitch although found out a little by Foden in second half 7+
Balbuena: Never put a foot wrong – he must be starting to convince the manager with some decent performances 7+
Cresswell: Another very decent performance from a guy who is back to his best 7+
Rice: The usual top performance: broke stuff up, defended well and went close with one shot over the bar 8+
Soucek: Brilliant at the heart of midfield – keeping everything ticking and played important part in the goal 8+
Masuaku: Spent a lot of time defending and did it very well but always looked menacing when getting offensive 7
Bowen: Quite outstanding in the first half when all the danger came through him beyond the goal, also always proving a pressure relieving outlet. Was switched into the central role when Antonio went off before being subbed himself a little later 9
Fornals: Plenty of work rate but seems to miss an outstanding chance per match and could have claimed the winner with a misjudged chip 6+
Antonio: Totally magnificent goal and an absolute menace until having to go off and that played a part in City’s second half performance 9+
Subs:
Haller: Contributed very little during a very subdued performance 3
Yarmolenko: Always busy – one shot which didn’t come down soon enough but little beyond that 4
