Yaya Toure scored two goals for Man City against West Ham at Upton Park on Saturday, December 11, 2010. Manchester City eventually beat West Ham 3-1.
Toure’s first goal was an absolute cracker. Look at the power on the shot- you would think that Green should have been able to stop it, but the power was such that it gave him no chance.
The second goal was a little bit fortuitous- Toure’s shot rebounded off Green and into the goal.
