Newcastle 0 Man City 2

NEWCASTLE-YAYA TOURE helped move Manchester City to within touching distance of the Premier League title as his brace downed Newcastle.

The Toon were proving a tough nut to crack until the classy Ivorian bent a shot into the far corner with 20 minutes to go.

City then missed a host of chances as Alan Pardew went in search of an equaliser, before Toure netted his second from close range to settle matters.
