Here are the Manchester City player ratings after they beat Ipswich Town 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium today. A brace from Erling Haaland and a first-half goal from Phil Foden saw City make it seven straight wins to begin their 2026-27 Premier League campaign. However, they once again had to fight for all three points against a stubborn Ipswich Town side.

The biggest concern for City was the injuries sustained by Matheus Nunes, Mateo Kovacic, Antoine Semenyo and Erling Haaland. City picked up all three points today but they may have come at a cost.

Gianluigi Donnarumma-6/10: He could do little about the two goals he conceded and had very little to do for the match.

Matheus Nunes-7.5/10: I thought Nunes was superb at right-back. He defended solidly and was good in possession. The major concern was that Nunes came off due to injury in the 76th minute.

Ruben Dias-7/10: Dias was a threat going forward and was strong at the back.

Marc Guehi-3/10: Guehi wss culpable for both of Ipswich Town’s goals and he was nowhere near his best today.

Nico O’Reilly-6.5/10: O’Reilly was good in the first half before he was replaced by Josko Gvardiol on the hour-mark.

Ayyoub Bouaddi-8/10: Bouaddi was strong in midfield and he is a special talent. He was caught in possession on occasions but his late run to get his team out of trouble illustrates his quality. Bouaddi was brilliant in my opinion.
