Bolton player ratings

Hart - Shaky at times and some poor decision making. 5.5

Zabaleta - Unlucky not to get on the scoresheet but growing in confidence when getting forward. 7

Kolarov - Defensively strong and good dead ball delivery. Poor sending off however. 6

Kolo Toure - Forced off through injury but solid until that point. 6

Kompany - Another impressive display. Dealt with the aerial threat and bailed Hart out well. 7.5

de Jong - Largely restricted in terms of offensive contribution but nullified Bolton well. 6.5

Barry - Not flashy but a key component in the trio functioning. 6.5

Yaya Toure - Dominant at times and appeared to have more licence going forward. 7.5

Silva - Another excellent display. Movement, touch and decisions something to behold. 8

Balotelli - His least headline-grabbing display. Hit the post and helped out defensively to good effect. 7

Tevez - Another game winner underlined his importance to the side. A big miss at Upton Park next week. 7.5

Sub:

Lescott - Equipped himself when after replacing Kolo Toure. Tested and upto the job. 7

Milner - Too late to mark. n/a
