Man City ratings: Nico O’Reilly far from himself as Haaland struggles upon return but Semenyo a rare bright spark

MANCHESTER CITY suffered a humbling 3-0 defeat to Arsenal in a nightmare start for new boss Enzo Maresca. The Sky Blues conceded the quickest goal in Community Shield history and rarely looked like getting back into the game.

Several City stars looked well under-cooked in Cardiff. Sign up for the Football newsletter Thank you! And among them was Erling Haaland, who looked like he could do with extra preparation ahead of the new season. Here how SunSport’s Martin Blackburn rated each City star on the day. GIANLUIGI DONNARUMMA – 5 Will be disappointed not to keep out Havertz header for the second goal and did he commit himself too soon for the third? A couple of straightforward saves. ABDUKODIR KHUSANOV – 6 Filled in at right-back and had a decent battle with Tzolis, matching the Gunners new boy for pace but will be disappointed two goals came down his flank. RUBEN DIAS – 5 The Portuguese is likely to be City’s new captain and will be fuming at the way his team was opened up so easily. JOSKO GVARDIOL – 6 Started at centre-half and made an important clearance off line to deny Odegaard at the end of first half. Switched to left-back early in second half.

MATEO KOVACIC – 6 Given the nod to fill enormous gap left by Rodri and found it hard as the Gunners took control of the midfield from the start. ELLIOT ANDERSON – 6 Pushed out slightly to the right rather than playing 6. Blazed a second half chance over before putting his feet up on the hour. Early days for him. ANTOINE SEMENYO – 6 The shining light during City’s pre season teed up Doku for a decent chance and forced a smart second half save out of Raya as his team searched for a consolation. PHIL FODEN – 5 Given his chance to play the No10 role – some nice moments but Maresca will want more. Curling shot well saved by Raya early on. JEREMY DOKU – 6 Arguably City’s best player in a difficult first half but did not reappear after break. Teed up a golden chance for Haaland then saw an effort of his own deflected over.

Subbed early in second half as he’s only been back at work for a couple of days. SUBSTITUTES GREALISH for Doku 46 – Could he still have a future with City? Looks in good nick. 6 GUEHI for O’Reilly 54 – brought a bit of composure to the defence but the game was gone. 6 MARMOUSH for Haaland 54 – Looked lively enough but no clear chances. 5 CHERKI for Foden 60 – a couple of nice moments but still rusty. 5 LEWIS for Anderson 60 – left standing by a moment of brilliance by Odegaard. 5 GONZALEZ for Kovacic 80 – neat and tidy in his brief cameo. 5 Comment now
