MATCH RATING
Entertainment 8
BEGOVIC: Some fine goalkeeping towards the end of a pretty assured game throughout 8
WILKINSON: Question marks over collision with Balotelli shouldn't detract completely from fine defensive operation 7
WILSON: His tackling was exceptionally clean and well-timed, while his positioning was much better 8
SHAWCROSS: That match-saving goal-line clearance topped off another pretty impressive defensive masterclass 8
HUTH: Not far behind his defensive sidekick as his anticipation was top notch on occasions 7
WALTERS: Played part in goal during another wonderfully industrious display so vital to the defensive cause 7
WHELAN: Easy to overlook such a largely unfussy tidying-up operation as he rises to the challenge around him 8
NZONZI: Few could argue with the sponsors' MoM choice as he impressed in all facets on debut 8
ADAM: A much more evident and influential presence second half as he always promised that extra touch of class 8
KIGHTLY: The end product wasn't always there, but more than played his part in excellent team effort 7
CROUCH: Always tidy in control, not least on goal, even if he did need a bit of a helping hand 7
SUBSTITUTES
ETHERINGTON (for Kightly, 69): Added useful energy and enthusiasm down the left on return to the line-up 6
CAMERON (for Adam, 84): Fresh legs to halt Manchester's midfield advance late on 6
OWEN: (for Crouch, 90): Did he even touch the ball? Who cares, still looked resplendent in those famous stripes 6
Not used: Sorensen, Whitehead, Upson, Jerome.
MANCHESTER CITY: Hart, Maicon, Clichy, Kompany, Lescott, Garcia, Y Toure, Nasri, Tevez (Barry,63), Balotelli (Dzeko, 90), Sinclair (Silva, 74). Subs: Wright, Kolarov, Rodwell, K Toure.
