Manuel Almunia (6) Nearly gifted them a goal with a huge error late in the half.
Lauren (6) Finally we saw Cygan removed from the team! What a relief it was to see the hard tackling "Ralphie" installed there.
Philippe Senderos (7) Only one mistake made all night which went unpunished.
Kolo Toure (7) Back to his best, with good clearances, headers and stormed forward.
Emmanuel Eboue (5) Not the game he would have wanted to have had. Some poor passing let him down.
Jose Reyes (6) Won the penalty, but was taken off injured. He is certain to miss Newcastle.
Alexander Hleb (6) Back from injury, and did look half a yard off the pace at times, but his accurate passing made up for this.
Mathieu Flamini (5) We were treated to his headless chicken impression again.
Sebastian Larsson (5) Struggled to find his feet at first, but did grow into the game, and with a few more chances in the first team he could be breaking through soon.
Quincy (5) He showed just how far away from the first team he is. Lost the ball, tried to many flicks when a simple pass was the better option, and couldn’t find range with his passes.
Thierry Henry (6) A fairly quiet game, with the penalty miss his only real chance.
Subs:
Robin Van Persie (6) Unlucky not to have scored.
Cesc Fabregas (6) Slotted into the middle to give us strength..
Kerrea Gilbert (6) Another option that is better than playing Cygan at left back!
