| Yaya Toure scored the only goal of the final |
Manchester City won their first major trophy in 35 years this weekend when they defeated Stoke City 1-0 at Wembley Stadium. It was Yaya Toure who scored the only goal of the match, punishing a poor Stoke side which only created one notable chance. Manchester City on the other hand were more adventurous, creating chances while defending well. I wasn't able to watch much of the match, but seeing as many people liked the compilation of the "Best Images of Real Madrid's Copa del Rey win over Barcelona", I've decided to make another one for Manchester City.
I hope you enjoy these pictures, and I'll get back to writing proper posts soon.

 |
| Edin Dzeko, Yaya Toure, Gareth Barry, and picture-snapping Joleon Lescott all smile with the historic cup. |
 |
| Tevez then puts a piece of the famous trophy on his head as a hat. |
 |
| Roberto Mancini says that it was a victory for the fans, and it certainly was. |
