Hart - Little or nothing to do but can claim an assist on the opening goal. 6.5
Richards - Shaky start with 'footwear issues' but recovered well. 6.5
Kolo Toure - Continued his improvement with another good performance. 7
Kompany - Positional play excellent once again. 7.5
Zabaleta - Very impressive display on the left. A better option than Lescott? 7.5
de Jong - Solid as ever and even played with his head to avoid a second booking. 7
Yaya Toure - Opened his account and a key part of the midfield in terms of control. 7
Barry - Made the right decisions time and again. 7
Milner - Didn't quite deliver in terms of creativity but showed plenty of energy. 6.5
Silva - Linked well with Tevez and looked a part of the side. Still plenty more to come. 7
Tevez - The stand out player. Maintained a high tempo throughout and delivered a cool finish. 8
Subs:
Johnson - Cracked the bar with one strike towards the end. 6.5
Jo - Not much effect but worked hard and tackled back. 6.5
Wright-Phillips - A few minutes at the end. No time to mark. n/a
