City were 3-0 up against Villa with the game reaching its final minutes.

Knowing the importance of goal difference in the chase for the Premier League title, City midfielder Toure muscled past the Villa defence with a 50-yard run before slotting the ball past Brad Guzan to earn the league leaders a 4-0 win.

The importance of that goal means City are now within one point of the title and became only the second team in Premier League history to score 100+ goals in a season.

The last team to do so were Chelsea in 2009/10 when they scored 103 goals.
