Manchester City won the FA Cup this season as in the final beat Stoke City 1-0. Yaya Toure is a hero for The Citizens. The title ended a barren sequence of 35 years without a major trophy, The last time City felt the title was when they won the English League Cup in 1976. FA Cup 5th for City after The Citizens last time reached in 1969.
The goal City had merited arrived on 74 minutes. David Silva released Mario Balotelli in the area and when his shot was deflected invitingly into the path of Toure he gave Sorensen no chance with a thunderous finish.
