Jesus Navas The Spaniard had a fairly quiet evening following his two-goal heroics against Tottenham last time out. Was subbed with 15 minutes to go. 6/10 Yaya Toure Toure was a powerhouse in midfield, frightening the life out of the Swansea defenders. Set up Nasri's second of the evening and looked composed alongside Fernandinho in the middle. 8/10 Fernandinho Put in a good shift alongside Toure in the centre of midfield. Came close to scoring after flicking a header goalbound which Aguero also nearly got on the end of, but neither could connect. 7/10 Samir Nasri Man of the match Samir Nasri was the star of the show, scoring two finely-taken goals to put clear daylight between City and Swansea. Superb from the Frenchman. 9/10 Alvaro Negredo Opened the scoring with a beauty of a freekick that left Gerhard Tremmel rooted to the spot, earned the freekick after drawing a clumsy fowl from Jose Canas, looked a real livewire. 8/10 Sergio Aguero Like Navas, endured a quiet evening, which is unusual for the Argentine. Almost scored, but failed to connect with Fernandhino's flick. Booked for deliberate handball, subbed with 10 minutes to go. 6/10 Subs James Milner (6), Aleksandar Kolarov (5), Edin Dzeko (5) Now click "Next" for Swansea City's player ratings.
