Match Assessment: Player Ratings and Key Performances

**Gianluigi Donnarumma (8/10):**
Donnarumma’s remarkable saves were pivotal in compensating for Manchester City’s struggles to regain control of the match.

**Matheus Nunes (6/10):**
Nunes has quietly established himself as a reliable right-back for City, delivering consistent performances without drawing much attention.

**Abdukodir Khusanov (6/10):**
Khusanov was generally strong and met the challenges he faced, though he was notably overpowered by Solanke, leading to Spurs’ opening goal, which was a less-than-favorable moment for the Uzbekistan international.

**Marc Guehi (6/10):**
Guehi appeared to be in control against a listless Spurs side, but the second half brought challenges. He may have been somewhat unfortunate not to receive a foul for Solanke’s first goal, yet he did not enhance his reputation following the second.

**Rayan Ait-Nouri (6/10):**
Ait-Nouri displayed a mix of composure and adventurousness in possession, engaging in some heavy tackles before being substituted for Gonzalez.

**Rodri (6/10):**
Rodri endured a tough match against Spurs, who repeatedly targeted him physically. He contributed to City’s second goal by regaining possession from Dragusin but was later subbed off for Marmoush in stoppage time.

**Bernardo Silva (7/10):**
Silva was City’s standout midfielder, consistently creating threats whenever he touched the ball. He was substituted for Foden late in the match.

**Nico O’Reilly (6/10):**
After being pushed into midfield with Ait-Nouri’s substitution, O’Reilly returned to defense when Gonzalez entered the game. He performed well in ball progression and defensively.

**Rayan Cherki (8/10):**
Cherki’s dynamic performances made City look formidable; however, he was substituted due to injury, which changed the course of the match.

**Erling Haaland (4/10):**
Haaland has now gone eight Premier League games without a non-penalty goal. He was effectively neutralized despite Spurs’ vulnerability and managed only one assist before fading from the game.

**Antoine Semenyo (7/10):**
Semenyo, who had previously declined moves to Tottenham, made a significant impact with a well-taken goal, although he grew frustrated as the match progressed.

**Tijjani Reijnders (6/10):**
Upon replacing Cherki, Reijnders effectively troubled Spurs with his deep runs, contributing to the attack.

**Nico Gonzalez (5/10):**
Gonzalez, substituted in for Ait-Nouri, had a challenging match and did not make a significant impact.

**Phil Foden (N/A):**
Brought on in the closing moments for Bernardo, Foden had limited time to influence the game.

**Omar Marmoush (N/A):**
Marmoush entered during stoppage time to replace Rodri.

**Pep Guardiola (5/10):**
Guardiola’s team had the match under control but failed to secure a win due to defensive lapses, resulting in dropped points in the title race.
