GIVEN - Well protected by defence and dealt with everything that came his way 7

RICHARDS - Shored up his side of defence adequately, but still makes odd bad decision 7

TOURE - Could have been sunning himself in Africa, but battled it out for the Blues instead 7

KOMPANY - Doesn’t like playing at centre half, but might have to get used to it with displays like this 8

ZABALETA - Occasionally made to look uncomfortable at left back, so switch to midfield not a shock 6

IRELAND - Tried in vain to inject some measure and culture into the mix, not his kind of game 6

DE JONG - This was always going to be a midfield scrap, right up the Dutchman’s street 7

BARRY - Two games in three days, but he is running on Duracell batteries 7

PETROV - Started on right, switched with Bellamy, but not hugely effective 6

TEVEZ - Scored his seventh and eighth goals in seven, excellently set up Bellamy and headed one off his own line 8

BELLAMY - Wasted a glorious opportunity but then did brilliantly to set up Tevez’s first goal 7
