Hart - a smart save from Ben Arfa in the first half and always comfortable when called upon. 7
Zabaleta - his loss of possession allowed their best chance but a largely disciplined game. 6.5
Kompany - a composed and imposing figure at the back. A threat from set pieces too. 8
Lescott - often in the shadows of his captain but helped thwart the threat of Newcastle's front pair. 7.5
Clichy - contributed well going forward and had a hand in Yaya Toure's second. 6
Yaya Toure - dominant performance once again. Showed immense versatility and of course go the crucial goals. 8.5
Barry - effective performance yet again. Contributed well to the attacking game too. 7
Silva - managed to find plenty of space and always involved from an attacking perspective. 7.5
Nasri - lined up mostly on the right but struggled to impact in terms of creating opportunities. 5.5
Tevez - a willing runner, linked up well and not afraid to get a shot way. 7
Aguero - always involved and always impacting. Missed a couple of good scoring opportunities though. 7
