VAR, as usual, had an impact but many Blades players shone against some of the best players in the world. Here’s how we rated them
5. Jack O'Connell - 8
Heavily involved at both ends of the field in the first half, including a delightful flick around the corner for Stevens to run onto Photo: Martin Rickett
6. Enda Stevens - 7.5
Shown a late yellow card after chasing Foden back and mistiming his challenge. Great ball almost saw Sharp get a goal late on Photo: Nigel Roddis
7. Muhamed Besic - 7
Handed a rare start in the absence of John Lundstram and was neat and tidy on the ball when he had to be and put his foot in when needed, too. Replaced by Oli McBurnie with around 15 minutes left Photo: Simon Bellis
8. Oliver Norwood - 8
Delightful Cryuff turn on the touchline saw him beat De Bruyne and covered an enormous amount of ground to make life difficult for City’s midfield. Great ball set Mousset clear over the top Photo: Simon Bellis
