Description

The 2011/12 season was a historic one for Yaya Touré and Manchester City, culminating in them winning the Premier League in a dramatic finale to the season.

Touré was a key player in City’s midfield under Roberto Mancini, demonstrating his extraordinary combination of strength, technique and ability to get into the game. In the Premier League, he made 32 appearances, scoring 6 goals and providing 6 assists. In all competitions, he played a total of 42 games, scoring 9 goals.

Two of his most important goals came in the final games of the season, with a brace against Newcastle on the penultimate day giving City a chance of winning the title. The final triumph came on the final day against QPR, with Agüero’s famous stoppage-time goal sealing the title for the first time in 44 years, overtaking rivals Manchester United on goal difference.

Yaya Touré was an irreplaceable element in that team, a real driving force who dominated the midfield and contributed decisively in both the defensive and offensive phases.
