YAYA TOURE hahahahah MANC 1 New Castle 0.
By Ben SmithBBC Sport
Manchester City moved to within touching distance of their first title for 44 years, as Yaya Toure scored twice to secure a crucial 2-0 victory over Newcastle United.
The Ivory Coast midfielder beat Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krull with a low curling shot with 20 minutes left.
He then added a second from close range with time running out.
City now know that victory over QPR in their final match of the season will secure the Premier League title.
From start to finish, this was a dominant, if nervy, display by the champions elect.
This was an utterly dominant display by City, inspired by Vincent Kompany's generalship, David Silva's prodigious work in midfield, stellar finishing by Toure and a workrate and ambition that glowed throughout the team.
The omens must have given City cause for hope and optimism before kick-off.

It was at this ground on 11 May, 1968 that City won to clinch their last league title. Some 44 years on, history repeated itself as City moved to within touching distance of the prize that has eluded them for so long.
While it was understandable that much of the attention focused on City, Newcastle were chasing a prize of their own.
Arsenal's 3-3 draw with Norwich City had opened the door to Champions League qualification. It was fitting, then, that Sir Bobby Robson, the last manager to lead Newcastle into Europe's top club competition, had been immortalised before kick-off as the club unveiled a statue to honour his memory.
But it was City who dominated for the opening 30 minutes. Sharper to the ball, swifter to use it, City forced Tim Krul, the Newcastle goalkeeper, into action on a number of occasions.
The Dutchman was forced to turn away low shots from both David Silva and Sergio Aguero, while Carlos Tevez went close with a curling free-kick.
It took Newcastle half an hour to produce their first effort on goal, but more soon followed.
Demba Ba fizzed a 25-yard shot over Joe Hart's crossbar. Moments later the Newcastle striker saw his goalbound shot blocked by the excellent Kompany after a clever run by Jonás Gutiérrez. The ball ran to Ben Arfa but his low shot was well saved by Hart, low to his left.
It was City, however, who had the best chance of the half shortly before the interval. The mercurial Silva broke clear down the left and cut the ball back to Gareth Barry near the penalty spot.
The England midfielder's first shot was blocked by Fabricio Coloccini, his second found a path to goal only for Davide Santon to clear off the line.

City maintained that momentum into the second half. Tevez fired high and wide, before testing Krul from distance but Mancini's side were struggling to convert their dominance of possession into clear-cut chances.
The introduction of Nigel De Jong, for Nasri, on the hour mark allowed Toure to push into a more advanced position behind Aguero and Tevez.
The Ivorian made an instant impact. Collecting a neat lay-off from Aguero, he curled a low shot beyond Krul's outstretched left hand to spark scenes of jubilation shared by fans and coaching staff alike. It was the first goal Newcastle had conceded in 497 minutes of football at the Sports Direct Arena.
City should have made sure of the result four minutes later when Silva lofted a delightful through ball into the path of Aguero only for the Argentine to nudge his shot inches wide of the right-hand post when clean through on goal.
Newcastle almost made City pay for their profligacy, when Ba and Pappiss Cisse connected only for the latter to head high and wide from close range.
City were in charge, however. Aguero put Toure through on goal only for the City midfielder to slip at the crucial moment. Edin Dzeko turned a shot narrowly over the bar from the resulting corner.
It mattered not, though, when Toure made sure of the result and perhaps the title a minute from time, as he finished a typically swift City counter-attack with a close-range finish.
