Man City 3-1 Chelsea PLAYER RATINGS: Which surprise star was the biggest attacking threat? Who was 'shambolic' for the visitors? And who rarely lives up to their price tag?

Manchester City showed signs of being back to their best with an important 3-1 victory against Chelsea on Saturday night.

Pep Guardiola's side came into the clash fresh off a humbling at the hands of PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday, and things got off to the worst possible start at the Etihad.

Abdukodir Khusanov made a disastrous mistake just minutes into his debut, with Noni Madueke pouncing on the new £33.5million defender's blunder to put Chelsea ahead.

City fought back and levelled through Josko Gvardiol, before Erling Haaland gave them a second half lead following a huge error from Blues keeper Robert Sanchez.
