Manuel Almunia - 7 - One incident with Gallas when he was glued to his line apart, another excellent performance.
Emmanuel Eboue - 6 - Very sloppy with the ball in the second half.
William Gallas - 8 - Looked like he might struggle with Cole to start with, ended up teaching him a lesson.
Mikael Sylvestre - 7 - Nice and steady - hardly noticed he was there.
Gael Clichy - 7 - Strangely reluctant to get forward.
Theo Walcott - 7 - Provided the impetus for us stepping up a gear again, faded again, got substituted again.
Alex Song - 8 - Started slowly but got better and better.
Cesc Fabregas - 7 - Somewhat rattled by a silly booking but still played a series of exceptional passes.
Samir Nasri - 6 - Didn't leave his wing as often as he normally does and had limited impact as a result.
Robin van Persie - 7 - Seemed more comfortable when moved out to the right.
Nicklas Bendtner - 7 - Summed up the whole performance really - worked hard, nothing seemed to come off, but got it right in the end.
Substitutes:
Emmanuel Adebayor - 8 - A matchwinning show from the bench.
Abou Diaby - 7 - Helped push West Ham over the edge.
Bacary Sagna - n/a - Nice to see him anyway.
