Manchester City claimed their first piece of silverware for 35 years as Yaya Toure’s second half strike gave Roberto Mancini’s side a 1-0 win over Stoke City in the FA Cup final at Wembley.
Toure pounced to slam home an emphatic finish in the 74th minute to breach Stoke’s obdurate defence and give City their first FA Cup final win since 1969.
The Cup victory provided the proverbial icing on the cake for Mancini’s side, who clinched their primary objective of delivering a top-four finish for a Champions League spot next season, while it sealed a memorable day for the city of Manchester after United won the Premier League title.
Manchester City goalie Joe Hart’s save on Kenwyne Jones right in front of goal in the second half was I thought the play of the game.
My heart goes out to Stoke they played really hard.
Mancini Man City – it has a ring.
