Manchester City 1-0 Stoke

Yaya Toure spared Manchester City�s blushes with a second-half winner to keep his side up with the title-winning pace, but this edgy victory did nothing to suggest they are a class apart. It took until the 70th minute to make the breakthrough, Toure bundling the ball past Asmir Begovic after a cross from Aleksandar Kolarov. But the game was better summed up by a subsequent howling miss and then a fit of petulance from Edin Dzeko.
