Ivanovic's goal helped Chelsea become the first team to beat Man City at the Etihad since December 2012, but Hazard was deservedly named man of the match.

Ivanovic scores the only goal to help Chelsea beat Man City

MAN CITY

Joe Hart (6 points):Unable to keep out Ivanovic's shot, Joe Hart played well all game including blocking Ramires' shot.

Vincent Kompany (4):On a day without strong support from midfield, Kompany played unimpressively but was still very aggressive.

Pablo Zabaleta (4):Despite his best efforts, the Argentine defender had a tiring day due to constant torture from Eden Hazard and could barely get on the attack.

Aleksandar Kolarov (6):Kolarov was the best player in defense with the assist for Toure to finish.

Matija Nastasic (3):A poor day for Nastasic. If the referee had been strict, he would have been sent off after fouling Oscar.

Martin Demichelis (4):Having to play in the defensive midfield position in place of Fernandinho was too much of a task for a slow player like Demichelis.

Jesus Navas (6):Quick and quite sharp, but unfortunately the chances that Navas created could not be successful.

David Silva (4):Not only did Silva miss two good chances, he also played poorly as he failed to perform his role as conductor, creating danger for Chelsea's defense.

Yaya Toure (6):Playing quite prominently in the first minutes thanks to his good ball control and strength, but Toure was overshadowed by the quality midfield of the away team.

Negredo (3):A pretty bad match for the Spanish striker. He almost lost all his scoring touch and played very lethargically.

Edin Dzeko (3):Not much better than his partner, Dzeko failed to capitalize on some of his teammates' chances.

Reserve:

Stevan Jovetic (5):Caused a bit of trouble with a few set pieces, but the player has yet to make a difference against a very disciplined opponent.

CHELSEA

Petr Cech (7):Quickly overcame the pressure to play confidently throughout the 90 minutes. Highlights were the situations of blocking shots from Silva and Jovetic.

Branislav Ivanovic (6):Although he was the only scorer of the match, Ivanovic was not really outstanding in defense.

Gary Cahill (6):Effective in interception situations with many accurate clearances in front of goalkeeper Cech's goal.

John Terry (6):As always, Terry was a safe bet with his composed play.

Cesar Azpilicueta (5):Although Navas passed him many times, Azpilicueta still played with great effort and ensured that Cech's net was not shaken.

David Luiz (7):A true warrior with a powerful and cunning style of play. Luiz and Matic created a shield in front of Chelsea's defense.

Nemanja Matic (7): A pretty impressive night for the Serbian in the defensive midfield position, with his ability to recover the ball and pass with high accuracy.

Ramires (8):It would be hard to ask for a better performance from the Brazilian midfielder. Strong, accurate and extremely alert, Ramires is always the first choice in midfield.

Eden Hazard (9):A “scary” performance from Hazard against the top Premier League stars of Man City. Speedy, technical and extremely confident, Hazard is a constant threat to Chelsea.

Willian (6):Create a good link between the midfield and the strikers. Together with Ramires and Hazard, he tormented the home team's defense with fast and unpredictable moves.

Samuel Eto'o:Working hard and diligently in attack, Eto'o left an impression with a shot that went over the bar.

Substitution:Oscar, Mikel and Demba Ba (no score)
