"People say it's easy to win with Sundowns (because of their financial strength), but why couldn't they win the league for the last seven years with the players that they bought and with the money that's been put into the team? What's the difference? I work hard, I don't play golf."

STARS IN EUROPE - IVORY COAST - CLUB - Yaya Toure scores twice in City win

MAN CITY YAYA TOURE

 

 

PREMIER LEAGUE (ENGLAND)
MATCHDAY 01
10.08.2015

West Bromwich vs Man City 0:3


Goals Man City:
Yaya Touré 9′, 24′
Kompany 59′


Man City's Yaya Toure and David Silva were both deserving of the man of the match accolade

Yaya Toure inspired Manchester City to a dominant victory at West Brom as £49m summer signing Raheem Sterling made his debut for the visitors.

A Toure shot appeared to take a slight deflection off David Silva before going through defender Craig Dawson's legs and trickling over the line.

City extended their lead when Toure curled a shot into the top corner.

Vincent Kompany headed in a corner as City delivered an early statement of Premier League title intent.

Reaction

 

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany: 

"We have something to prove.

Last season was below what we're used to doing. 

It was a good way to start the first game.

"We came out knowing we had a point to prove. 

If you'd seen the faces in training last week, I knew the team was going to be ready for this game."

 

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini: 

"It's important to start with a win. 

In the Premier League normally you are going to win or lose the league by one point, so it's important to start strongly."


THE STATS YOU NEED TO KNOW

• Manchester City completed 692 passes in this game - 211 more than any other team on the opening weekend of the 2015-16 Premier League season.

• In each of the last five seasons, the eventual Premier League champions began with a game on a Monday.

• Yaya Toure has scored five goals in his last three Premier League games at The Hawthorns.

• Silva (90) and Fernandinho (89) completed more passes than any other Premier League player on the first weekend of the 2015-16 top flight campaign.


'THEY WERE ON A DIFFERENT PLANET  
(BBC Radio 5 live's Robbie Savage)

"Manchester City were on a different planet against West Brom and better than any other team after the first weekend of the Premier League. 

West Brom were just beaten by a better team.

Every player in a City shirt performed.
