Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has lauded the form of Yaya Toure. The Ivorian has been one of City's standout performers this season and netted his fifth goal in seven matches in the 5-0 Capital One Cup victory over Wigan.
"He is a very important player for the team," said Pellegrini. "I don't know what happened last year but all the players are playing with trust and a goal always give them trust. I think it is very important.
"We are always practising. Yaya stays normally, kicking the ball after we finish the daily work.
"He is really in a good moment - also it is not normal for someone always [to be] scoring free-kicks."
