Player ratings for Manchester City’s Premier League title winners

Three of Pep Guardiola’s squad are awarded 10s - including Erling Haaland who is redrawing what is possible for a Premier League striker in the same fashion the great New Zealand winger Jonah Lomu did in rugby union.

Manchester City win the Premier League for the third season in a row.

EDERSON: Close to flawless. Again. The Brazilian is the unassuming star of City’s backline who, under pressure, initiates attacks by coolly tapping the ball short, or has the vision to launch a 50-yard hail mary into Erling Haaland. Can be dominant in the air and has panther-like reflexes when required. 9 

KYLE WALKER: An interesting season for a defender who became Pep Guardiola’s de facto team weather vane. “Kyle is back,” said the manager of his attitude in training in February before next month dropping him, later explaining this was because “he cannot do it” – function as the inverted defender-midfielder. Nathan Aké’s injury allowed a way back and Walker is again firmly in favour. 8
