Man City 6-0 Spurs: Player Ratings

Manchester City took Tottenham Hotspur apart at the Etihad, hitting them for six and climbing five places in the Premier League table to fourth. Jesus Navas opened the scoring inside 15 seconds, profiting for early Spurs errors that rather set the tone for this match. Sandro diverted Alvaro Negredo's shot into his own net and Sergio Aguero netted either side of half time to seal victory. Negredo added his name to the scoresheet and Navas netted another in stoppage time to cap another strong home win for City. Manuel Pellegrini got the response he wanted from the players after losing to basement club Sunderland before the international break. Opposite number Andre Villas-Boas meanwhile should definitely be disappointed with the reaction of his Spurs side that lost at home to Newcastle United last time out. Their display was every inch of the word dismal €“ and we have pulled no punches when it comes to the player ratings. Somehow Tottenham enjoyed the lion's share of possession despite the heavy defeated inflicted on them in Manchester. City ruthlessly exploited defensive frailties and mistakes €“ a fact we are only too happy to reward with higher marks. Bearing all this in mind, who impressed us at WhatCulture?
