  Joe Hart

  Had very little to do but made a sharp stop to deny Johnson before Zamora converted the rebound.

  Vincent Kompany

  Comfortable enough performance from the City captain as he showed good anticipation and had the strength to combat Zamora.

  Pablo Zabaleta

  The Argentine was maybe a little culpable in the build-up to the QPR goal but produced another tenacious display and got forward well, smashing the crossbar in the second-half. Came off with a hamstring injury 15 minutes from time.

  Joleon Lescott

  Solid display as he swept up QPR attacks and made a couple of strong challenges on the cover.

  Aleksandar Kolarov

  Lovely first-half pass to Silva showed his attacking qualities but, as is often the case, made some clumsy challenges in defence.

  Samir Nasri

  Drifted into space from the left and looked to unlock the QPR defence. Not his most influential display.

  Jack Rodwell

  Sat in midfield and kept his passing neat and tidy. Could have been more creative, but provided a solid platform for the more attacking players.

  2.00

  David Silva

  The Spaniard caused QPR problems in the first-half with his eye for a pass and intelligent movement, cutting inside from the right to combine with the forwards, at the same time creating space out wide for Zabaleta. Faded after the break.

  Yaya Touré

  Scored for the second week in a row as he broke the deadlock in the 16th minute, latching on to a loose ball from a corner and blasting it into the roof of the net. Power and poise the basis of City's best attacks.

•

  Edin Dzeko

  The Bosnian was the focal point of City's attacks but his finishing was badly off target until he headed home in the 61st minute from close range. Can also claim an assists for City's third after miscued shot was turned in by Tevez.

  Carlos Tévez Top of the Match

  Has now scored in all three of City's Premier League games after turning in Dzeko's wayward shot late on. It was a goal the Argentine deserved after a busy display behind Dzeko, wriggling into space and injecting energy into City attacks. Cross from the left provided the assist for Dzeko's goal.

  Robert Green

  Responded to the signing of Julio Cesar with a decent display, making some solid saves. Could do nothing about any of the City goals.

•

  2.00

  Anton Ferdinand

  Too easily caught out by City's attacking movement, letting their forwards run into space and create chances. Went off injured in the second half.

  José Bosingwa

  Decent enough performance from the Portuguese full-back but barely got a chance to offer an attacking threat.

  2.00

  Ryan Nelsen

  Fine when able to attack the ball but lack of mobility exposed a number of times by Tevez. Volleyed a good chance wide at the other end.

•

  2.50

  Fabio Da Silva

  Committed display and showed good anticipation in the first-half to clear Dzeko's header off the line and make a last-ditch block on Silva.

  Ji-Sung Park Flop of the Match

  A virtually anonymous performance from the South Korean. Did plenty of running but couldn't get near the City midfield and lacked invention on the ball.

•

  2.00

  Alejandro Faurlin

  Played some neat passes but didn't have the attacking options in front of him, while he seemed to tire in the second-half before being replaced by Dyer in the 72nd minute.

  Shaun Wright-Phillips

  Looked to run at the City defence on his return to his former club but didn't have much luck as he was squeezed off the ball.

  2.00

  Esteban Granero

  The Spaniard could hardly have asked for a tougher QPR debut but showed glimpses of his class and his set-pieces will threaten opponents.

•

  2.00

  Andy Johnson

  Had very little service but played a starring role in Zamora's goal, making a direct run and testing Hart with a powerful shot.

  B. Zamora

  On hand to turn the ball home in the 59th minute but on the whole a frustrating afternoon as he was isolated and muscled away from the ball.

  Nedum Onuoha
