Yaya Toure rekindled memories of the blockbusting performances that helped Manchester City win two Premier League titles in three seasons, scoring twice in an impressive 3-0 victory at West Bromwich Albion on Monday.
When on song the imposing Toure is one of the most dominant players in European football but those games were few and far between as City finished well adrift in second place last season.er City against West Bromwich Albion. REUTERS
Manuel Pellegrini's side needed to make a statement of intent in their league opener and did so with the long-striding central midfielder Toure leaving the West Brom players floundering in his wake on numerous occasions with powerful runs and incisive passing.
His first goal had an element of fortune, with a double deflection, but a sublime second saw Toure scythe through midfield, exchange passes with compatriot Wilfried Bony, and fire into the top corner.
"I think we saw the Yaya of one season ago, not like last season when he had so many problems," City manager Manuel Pellegrini told Sky Sports.
