Manchester City moved to within touching distance of their first title
for 44 years, as Yaya Toure scored twice to secure a crucial victory
over Newcastle United.
The Ivory Coast midfielder beat Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul with a low curling shot with 20 minutes left.
He then added a second from close range with time running out.
City now know that victory over QPR in their final match of the season will secure the Premier League title.
It was at this ground on 11 May 1968 that City won to clinch their last league title. Some 44 years on, history repeated itself as City moved to within three points of the prize that has eluded them for so long.
While it was understandable that much of the attention focused on City, Newcastle were chasing a prize of their own.
