  Joe Hart

  A more assured performance from England's No.1 and almost miraculously kept Everton's goal out. Did nearly let a Jelavic free kick slip through his grasp.

  3.00

  Maicon

  An attack-minded right-back, but Maicon was ponderous on the ball at times.

  Vincent Kompany

  Forever taking responsibility at the back and his reading of the game frequently sent City on their way.

•

  2.50

  Joleon Lescott

  Brought in against his old side and found it hard to get to grips with Jelavic's movement.

  Aleksandar Kolarov

  Recalled at left-back, but injury meant he lasted just five minutes and was replaced by Zabaleta.

  Samir Nasri Flop of the Match

  Non-existent. Struggled to get involved and a surprise that he wasn't hauled off.

  Gareth Barry

  Preferred to Javi Garcia and did the basics right without impacting further forward.

•

  3.50

  David Silva

  The bright spark of a dour opening 40 minutes, but wasn't offered any movement in front of him, despite threatening.

  Yaya Touré

  Again something missing; City cry out for the Toure surging drives from midfield of last season.

  Edin Dzeko

  Is he capable of starting a fixture? Manchester City fans don't seem to think so, booing that Tevez was replaced by Sergio Aguero rather than the Bosnian.

•

  3.50

  Carlos Tévez

  Took his penalty coolly but was allowed very little room to play by Distin and Jagielka.

Substitutions

  3.50

  Pablo Zabaleta

  An early substitute for the injured Kolarov, the Argentine is the best full-back at the club and it showed.

•

  Sergio Agüero

  Wasn't provided with any sort of service when he came off the bench.

  Mario Balotelli

  Should have been brought on earlier; looked to have the jink needed to unlock the away defence.

Everton

  Tim Howard

  Poleaxed earlier in the game by Edin Dzeko but an ever-reliable last line of defence for the Toffees.

  Tony Hibbert

  With City's attacking players roaming, Hibbert had to hold his position and wait for David Silva. Did so with minimal fuss.

  Leighton Baines

  Crossing was unusually poor but still provided the ball in for the opening goal and poses a threat from dead balls.

•

  Phil Jagielka

  Stood tall about Dzeko in a real physical battle. Gave the ball away on a couple of occasions but wasn't punished.

•

  Sylvain Distin

  Miscued a clearance and allowed Tevez in behind early in the second half but recovered well - summing up his afternoon.

  3.00

  Darron Gibson

  Showed some wonderful touches early on, but was bogged down in trying to track City runners for the majority.

•

  3.50

  Leon Osman

  Always busy and always sensible, Osman is ever-dependable and provides a crucial shield away from Goodison Park.

•

  3.00

  Steven Pienaar

  Difficult role in that he had responsibility to support Jelavic but watch City's right-hand side as well. The defensive side of his game will have pleased Moyes.

  Marouane Fellaini Top of the Match

  Gets through a lot of unseen work in the middle third of the pitch, scored the opening goal and carries Everton through tricky patches.

•

  3.50

  Nikica Jelavic

  Plenty of strikers find leading the line on their own an arduous task, but Jelavic holds off two defenders and still manages to hold a goal threat.

•

  2.50

  Steven Naismith

  Allowed Zabaleta to get the beating of him too often and failed to back Tony Hibbert up.

  John Heitinga

  Bryan Oviedo

  Moyes sensed victory with 20 to play, but Oviedo couldn't quite conjure an opportunity.
