Yaya Toure dedicates Man City Cup winner to Kolo

Manchester City matchwinner Yaya Toure was delighted with his FA Cup semifinal strike.

Yaya Toure dedicated his FA Cup semi-final winner to brother Kolo, banned for a failed drugs test, at Wembley.

The Manchester City midfielder beat Edwin van der Sar at the start of the second-half to score the only goal against Manchester United, ending the Red Devils' treble bid and sending the Blues into their first final since 1981.

"I am very sad for him at this moment in time," said the former Barcelona star.

"He is a professional player and he wants to play.

"People make mistakes sometimes. It is part of life. It is part of sport.

"Mentally, he is a strong guy. He is the most important person in my life.

"Every time I speak with him he helps me. I dedicate this win to him and the fans."
