MATCH RATING
Entertainment 6
SORENSEN: No chance with goal and pretty sound goalkeeping for the rest of the afternoon 7
SHOTTON: Unfortunate slip on the goal, but otherwise wholehearted return to team at right-back 6
WILKINSON: One of his quieter afternoons one way or another before his early withdrawal 6
SHAWCROSS: Solid as a rock in his own area and got his fair quota of blocks in. Also had a goal ruled out for offside in the first half 7
HUTH: Tremendously strong in all 50-50 situations during no-nonsense defensive display 7
KIGHTLY: Lacking confidence and luck as too many situations petered out 6
WHELAN: That dodgy challenge aside, difficult to argue with his man-of-the-match award 7
NZONZI: Body language a lot better this week, but couldn't quite impose himself on proceedings 6
ETHERINGTON: Got into some good areas and no faulting his effort, just the end product that was missing at crucial times 6
WALTERS: Strong and earnest offering and had some nearly moments with goal in his sights 6
JONES: Never had the kind of service that would have seen him threatening any damage 6
SUBSTITUTES
JEROME (for Kightly, 67): One poor finish late in the day that might just have rescued the tie and sent the sides back to the Etihad for a replay 6
WHITEHEAD (for Wilkinson, 73): Slotted in at full-back and is quickly making a useful habit of that 6
CROUCH (for Jones, 73): One header just over the bar with only real chance to come his way 6
Not used: Nash, Owen, Adam, Upson.
MANCHESTER CITY: Pantilimon, Zabaleta, Kolarov (Aguero, 62), Kompany (Clichy, 40), Lescott, Milner, Garcia, Barry, Silva, Dzeko, Tevez (Rodwell, 86). Subs not used: Hart, Sinclair, Rekik, Lopes.
