Both Manchester City as a team and Yaya Touré himself have blown hot and cold this season. However, against to Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League on Wednesday night, the Citizens enjoyed a deserved 3-1 win, with Touré netting the best goal of the night.
After fielding a weakened side in City’s 5-1 FA Cup mauling by Chelsea at the weekend, Manuel Pellegrini brought back the big guns and by half-time, the Premier League side were 2-0 up, courtesy of goals from Sergio Aguero and David Silva.
After the break, Vitaliy Buyalskiy got one back for the hosts, courtesy of a deflected effort as the Ukrainians fought back. However, after standing firm in the face of Kiev pressure, City sealed the deal at the death courtesy of this curling cracker from Touré…

The wins puts City in the driving seat in the tie, with a place in the quarter finals (for the very first time), very likely.
