Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher has launched a scathing attack on Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure.

Despite managing a goal, Toure did not enjoy the best of performances during City's 2-1 defeat at the hands of Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Monday night.

Former Liverpool defender Carragher was left very angry at Toure's performance and stated that the Ivorian is not a team player.

Carragher said on Sky's coverage of the game: "It wound me up the fact that he got the goal at the end. It's like he comes alive, he goes 'ooh we've got a goal, we've got a chance of me getting a bit of glory and being involved'.

"They lost the game tonight and one of the major reasons was the space [Mesut] Ozil had behind him. It's nothing new, it's nothing we haven't said in the last two or three years but it comes back to the fact that he just wants to switch it on when he thinks he can get a goal.

"You're talking about one of your major players, your leaders in the dressing room, that's unbelievably selfish the way he has played tonight.

"He is good on the ball and can find passes but if you want to get [David] Silva as a No.10 and Yaya as a central midfielder, it's going to get to the stage where he can't play him in central midfield."
