\"Yaya<\/a><\/p>\n

Yaya Toure was his usual commanding self in the\u00a0Manchester\u00a0City\u00a0midfield as they crushed city rivals and hosts Manchester United 0-3 in the English Premier League on Tuesday night.<\/span><\/p>\n

But it is the\u00a0Cote d’Ivoire\u00a0international’s\u00a0stoppage time goal that has had everyone\u00a0wondering just how far\u00a0he can take his season.<\/span><\/p>\n

A brace by Bosnia-Herzegovina star Edin Dzeko had virtually sealed the points for City before Yaya\u00a0struck a low shot home to make it his fourth goal in his last two games.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was his 17th goal of the season<\/strong> and amazingly keeps the 30-year-old as City’s\u00a0top scorer of the season so far, ahead of the injury-plagued Argentine striker Sergio Aguero who has 15 and Dzeko who has 10.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yaya, who became the first central midfielder in City’s history to reach 10 league goals in a single season, taunted United after the game, tweeting: “Manchester\u00a0is and always will be Blue”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manchester is and will always be blue…<\/p>\n

\u2014 yaya toure (@Toure_yaya42) March 25, 2014<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

He has now scored an incredible 21 goals<\/strong> in all competitions this season and looks far from stopping.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I came to the club to make history and I hope to continue to the end of my contract,” he told\u00a0City TV<\/em>\u00a0recently.<\/p>\n

“I think the club and the fans need trophies, need history and need great players to come here and try to make this club great.<\/p>\n

“We have the team, we have the players, we have the manager as well.<\/p>\n

“I hope at the end of the season we lift this trophy for these fans who love City.”<\/p>\n

Incredibly after winning three straight African Player of the Year awards, the former Barcelona star\u00a0is already a frontrunner for a fourth straight crown, especially if he has a great World Cup campaign.<\/p>\n
