Yaya sets sights on City success

Yaya Toure is setting his sights on sustained success after firing Manchester City to the brink of a first league title in 44 years.

The Ivory Coast star bagged a double as City edged past Newcastle on a key afternoon.

A first ever Barclays Premier League success on top of last season's FA Cup final triumph would be a creditable return on owner Sheikh Mansour's sizeable investment.

And it would justify Toure's own decision to join his revolution.

The 28–year–old said: "Always I have said this club can go far, this club can win something.

"Khaldoon (Al Mubarak, City chairman) and Mansour are doing incredibly well.

"Last year we won the FA Cup and we have to continue like that and next week try to win the game against QPR.

"We know it's going to be tough, but I believe in this team, I believe in the players we have.”

City need to match United's result at Sunderland to lift the title with the two sides locked together on 86 points. City enjoy a superior goal difference.

Any slip–up could allow their rivals back into the race
