Manchester City’s Yaya Toure flying high after FA Cup win – EPL news
Manchester City midfielder, Yaya Toure, feels like he is living a dream after his side’s FA Cup triumph. Toure scored the winning goal in the FA Cup final at Wembley against Stoke City on Saturday.
Yaya Toure is making a habit of popping up just when his team needs him most. The midfielder scored the winning goal against bitter rivals Manchester United in the semi-finals of the tournament, and he proved to be the man with the Midas touch in this encounter
as well.
It might not have been the best goal Toure has ever scored, but it will almost certainly be one of his most important ones. The Ivorian blasted the ball into the back of the net after a scramble in the Stoke City penalty area, giving his side the lead in
the 74th minute of the match. It proved to be the difference between the two clubs on the night, as Manchester City held on to win their first FA Cup crown since 1969.
Speaking after the match, Toure said, “The dream is now... It's fantastic to win. It's fantastic for the history of the club. We wanted to win something and get through to the Champions League. It's amazing."
Though he has led Manchester City to their first major trophy in more than 30 years, manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 believes that the FA Cup title just marks the beginning of a fruitful era for the Sky Blues.
Speaking after the match, the Italian said, “I can say only that I'm very happy for all the supporters. After many years they deserve to win this trophy. We did a small piece of history of Manchester City. We start now."
With a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League guaranteed, and now a major title under their belt, the future indeed looks bright for Manchester City.
The Sky Blues will now concentrate on the final two matches of the Barclays Premier League campaign. Manchester City are currently in fourth place with 65 points. They have a chance of overtaking http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 in the race for third place. If they were to achieve
such a feat, they would head straight into the group stages of the Champions League.
