Meanwhile, Manuel Pellegrini sighed for relief after the referee had blasted the whistle at the end of the game, saying all that matter was the three points.
“Maybe we didn’t deserve to have the points, but I think that these points maybe replace the three points we lost against West Ham where we had at least 18 or 20 chances to score”.
Manchester City will take on title rivals Arsenal next on Monday, 21st December. The Ivorian provided energy and drive throughout and it was his determination that brought about the victor.
Yaya Toure is a powerful player at the center of the field and will link well with Fernandinho to make for one of Manchester City’s best central midfield pairings. “He was the player who tried to create different things”, the coach told the club’s website, mcfc.co.uk, after the match on Saturday. He rewarded his manager’s faith with a goal against his former club.

Sterling was coming off a two goal performance in midweek.
Elsewhere, Romelu Lukaku scored for the sixth league game in a row for Everton in a 1-1 draw at Norwich and another in-form striker, Odion Ighalo, grabbed Watford’s victor in a 1-0 victory at Sunderland. Wes Hoolahan equalised for the struggling Canaries.
Caretaker manager Alan Curtis attempted to halt Swansea’s slide by picking a side without a recognised centre-forward, as Stoke City had when they beat City 2-0 seven days earlier.

However, without some of their leaders, the Sky Blues have some weaknesses, and they fell behind to manager-less Swansea when a long Federico Fernandez pass was met by substitute Bafetimbi Gomis, who lashed past Joe Hart after tearing into the box.
