Tim Krul
Hardly threatened by the Chelsea attack, the Dutchman only had to make one save all game.
Mathieu Debuchy
Guilty of giving the ball away too often with 54 per cent passing accuracy, although he made a sensational block to deny Eto’o.
Mike Williamson
Made eight clearances as Nawcastle were pinned in their own half after taking the lead.
Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa
Composed on the ball with a 90 pass accuracy rate, but the Frenchman struggled to make his presence felt with no tackles or headers won.
Davide Santon
Fared better than his fellow full-back, but still failed to make a single tackle.
Moussa Sissoko
One of Newcastle’s more lively performers, he completed 94 per cent of his passes.
Cheick Tiote
An all-action display from the Ivorian saw him complete 95 per cent of his passes before being forced off the pitch due to injury.
Yohan Cabaye
Struggled at times but a delicious free-kick was tucked away for the winner.
Yoan Gouffran
A superb diving header gave the Magpies the lead, but the forward was relatively quiet otherwise.
Shola Ameobi
It was a risky gamble that didn’t pay off as the striker toiled without much success.
Loic Remy
Secured all three points with a superb finish, but he also retained the ball well with a 88 per cent pass accuracy.
Subs:
Vurnon Anita
A sensational assist for the second, he may well have convinced Alan Pardew of his first-team credentials.
Papiss Cisse
Won three of his four headed duels when he came on, but did little else.
Gabriel Obertan
Had little time to impress.
Petr Cech
Made two saves but couldn’t do anything about either goal.
Branislav Ivanovic
Got forward well and supported the attack, but just one of his six crosses reached their target.
David Luiz
His reintroduction to the side went smoothly as he won all three of his headed duels, but was nowhere for Remy’s strike.
John Terry
Utterly dominant in the air as he won six of seven headers and was unlucky to hit the bar in the first half.
Ashley Cole
Had a rather anonymous performance and did little to help out his fellow defenders.
Ramires
Quietly went about his business with a 80 per cent pass completion rate, but struggled in the latter stages.
Struggling for form, he could only manage a 72 per cent pass completion rate and his set-pieces were off today.
Always looked dangerous with six successful take ons.
Oscar
An impressive first-half, but his performance quickly declined after the break with a 77 per cent pass completion rate.
Not his best performance, as only one of his five crosses reached a blue shirt.
Made just three of his eight passes in a very subdued display.
Subs:
Willian
Got involved with the game, completing 83 per cent of 29 passes.
Samuel Eto’o
Wasteful in front of goal as he missed all four of his chances.
Andre Schurrle
Threw himself into the play but could do little to turn it around.
