LONDON (AP) " Yaya Toure returned from his Manchester City exile to score twice, inspiring the team to a 2-1 victory at Crystal Palace in the English Premier League on Saturday. Substitute Connor Wickham's 66th-minute goal briefly made it 1-1 but Palace slumped to a fifth successive defeat. Toure's only previous first-team appearance this season came in City's 1-0 win over Steaua Bucharest in a Champions League qualifier on Aug. 24. That led to Toure being ostracized by Guardiola, only for the midfielder to issue an apology for "misunderstandings of the past." It was in the 39th, after Palace defender Martin Kelly conceded possession, that Toure's vision gave City the lead.
