VIDEO: Yaya Toure is simply too good for Aston Villa
Yaya Toure has been the best player all year long for Manchester City.
Some would say he was more deserving than Luis Suarez of being named PFA Player of the Year. But that's an argument for another day.
While the imposing Ivorian may not have captured the individual award, his club took a massive step towards winning the real prize on Wednesday, beating Aston Villa 4-0 to leapfrog Liverpool at the top of the table.
Fittingly, Toure got his name on the scoresheet, scoring one of the most impressive goals of the campaign.
The goal, City's 100th of the season, was also a historic one for the dominant midfielder.
Yaya's goal now makes him just the second central midfielder to score 20+ goals in a single EPL season. (The other? Frank Lampard.)

A roughly 60-yard run, beating multiple players to score in injury time. He then gave a composed post-match interview literally minutes later.
Yaya Toure is not human. There is no other explanation.
