Crystal Palace midfielder Yohan Cabaye has revealed Yaya Toure has been his toughest opponent in football.

The Frenchman has faced Toure in the Premier League since 2011 - bar one year while Cabaye was at PSG - with Newcastle United and Palace.

And on BBC programme Match of the Day Kickabout when asked who his toughest opponent was, Cabaye listed the Manchester City midfielder.

He said: "Yaya Toure - he is a fantastic footballer and he plays less now, but I remember a couple of seasons ago he was amazing and really hard to play against."
