Chelsea last night became the first team of the season to leave the Etihad with three Premier League points.

It owed as much to their meticulous application of Jose Mourinho's game plan as it did to some inspired performances in all areas of the pitch.

The goal scorer on the night was Branislav Ivanovic - but does he come out with top marks for the dark blues?

Many thought Manchester City would be impossible to stop, but with a great performance by Chelsea, the home side were arguably not at their best - particularly at the back.

But who scored lowest for the light blues?
