The prospect of facing Raheem Sterling at the Etihad Stadium can be daunting for Premier League defenders, but Aaron Wan-Bissaka rose to the challenge on Saturday.
The 22-year-old Manchester United right-back ensured Sterling had a frustrating afternoon as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side won the derby 2-1.
Wan-Bissaka's performance earned him a place in Premier League Champion Alan Shearer's Team of the Week.
Some big calls from @alanshearer 👊

Martin Dubravka (NEW) | NEW 2-1 SOU
A key figure again in Newcastle United's latest victory, making vital saves in a tight contest.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka (MUN) | MCI 1-2 MUN
Facing a really tricky customer in Sterling, he defended incredibly well and didn't give the Manchester City winger a kick.
Mason Holgate (EVE) | EVE 3-1 CHE
Superb in everything he did. Everton's defence was much improved against a dangerous Chelsea side.
Jonny Evans (LEI) | AVL 1-4 LEI
Only getting better with age. He reads the game well and gives everyone around him confidence.
Enda Stevens (SHU) | NOR 1-2 SHU
Sheffield United are still undefeated away from home and the left wing-back has more than played his part. This time he scored the equalising goal.
Scott McTominay (MUN) | MCI 1-2 MUN
A brilliant display against class opposition, giving Manchester United's pacy forwards opportunities to hurt the champions on the counter.
Jordan Henderson (LIV) | BOU 0-3 LIV
His energy and passing was superb and he provided a well-earned assist.
Son Heung-min (TOT) | TOT 5-0 BUR
His run from inside his own half will surely be a Goal of the Season contender and he set up another strike, too.
Harry Kane (TOT) | TOT 5-0 BUR
Produced two clinical finishes, showed intelligent movement and his fine passing ability set up the assist for Moussa Sissoko's goal.
Jamie Vardy (LEI) | AVL 1-4 LEI
Added two more goals to his tally. There is just no stopping the Premier League's leading scorer.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin (EVE) | EVE 3-1 CHE
Bullied Chelsea's back four and scored two very important goals. He looks set to be an influential figure while Duncan Ferguson is in charge at Goodison Park.
Manager: Duncan Ferguson (EVE) | EVE 3-1 CHE
Inspired a performance full of energy and aggression and the crowd responded. No one will fancy visiting Goodison if Everton keep playing like that in front of their home fans.
