Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has admitted that he did not expect his side to be allowed another crack at the Premier League title by rivals Manchester United, but is determined to do all they can to overtake their rivals.
At one point the Etihad Stadium outfit trailed the Red Devils by eight points, but recent inconsistency by Sir Alex Ferguson’s men means that the gap has been cut to three points, with the sides playing each other next Monday.
The Ivory Coast international is glad to be back in contention, and wants to get three points when the teams meet.
“We now have a second chance and I hope we take it because it is very important for us,” Toure told The Telegraph.
“That is why I come to City, to make history with the club and for us to win this competition would be fantastic.
“I’m quite surprised because for United to drop points at home like that is quite surprising. Years ago, United was so strong.
“They are still strong, you have to say that because they are first in the table, but sometime you can do a mistake and United made a mistake on Sunday.
“We have taken advantage. We are keeping going and we are working hard to create our chance to win this trophy,” he confessed.
