Vincent Kompany: 7 – City were far inferior once he was replaced, and it was the Belgian’s persistence and endeavour that ensured Manuel Pellegrini’s side broke the deadlock.
Eliaquim Mangala: 6 – While no one can doubt that Mangala is a physically imposing player who truly looks the part, the lapses of concentration remain and the Frenchman was directly responsible for Mandzukic’s equaliser.
Aleksandar Kolarov: 7 – Continued his encouraging start to the season with a few excellent forays forward.
