Six Manchester City players make WhoScored Team of the Week

SIX Manchester City players have made the latest WhoScored Team of the Week, including the entire defence that started against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

The stats-based website draws data from Opta and automatically creates player ratings based on that, and this weekend’s performance against Sam Allardyce’s side was pleasing on a statistical level, as well as on the eyes.

In addition to Kompany, Otamendi, Fernandinho and Clichy, the outstanding Kevin De Bruyne (the only player to rank a perfect 10) and Gabriel Jesus also made the team. Jesus didn’t score against Palace, but registered an assist and put in a tireless performance.

After a year of uneven performances and criticism aimed at the City defence, it is nice to see it recognised after a strong performance. The return of club captain Vincent Kompany, who is staying at the club next season, has certainly made a difference.
