Man City's best and worst players in emphatic win over Wolves

If you need to send a message to your title rivals, scoring five goals can be pretty effective.

Manchester City made light work of Wolves on Saturday afternoon, running out 5-1 winners in a game which could have easily featured more goals for Pep Guardiola's defending champions.

Here are City's best and worst players from 's player ratings.

No, that's not a typo. Erling Haaland really broke the scale with his four-goal haul.

Sure, two of them might have been penalties, but the other two were real moments of brilliance from the Norwegian, who was at his terrifying best throughout. He could have easily had five, six or seven goals here.

This was one of Rodri's most dominant performances of the season. He dictated proceedings at both ends of the field, often becoming the primary creator as City's talismanic forwards actually failed to make too much of an impact on the game.

Rodri managed two assists as he breezed around Wolves' midfield and picked any pass he wanted to make. Everything looked terrifyingly easy.

Ederson flexed his quality with a pass in the build-up to City's fourth, but that came just seconds after he flapped at a cross which ended up dropping at the feet of Hwang Hee-chan.

The ball should never have been able to elude him like that, and it cost Ederson his clean sheet.
