Yaya Toure bade farewell to the Etihad Stadium as champions Manchester City set a hat-trick of Premier League records in a routine 3-1 win over Brighton. Yaya Toure bade farewell to the Etihad Stadium as champions Manchester City set a hat-trick of Premier League records in a routine 3-1 win over Brighton. Records tumbled as City took their goals tally for the campaign to 105, their points total to 97 and their number of wins to 31, eclipsing previous best marks set by Chelsea. Toure was recalled for his first Premier League start of the season and regular captain Vincent Kompany gave up the armband for the night. Like the Toure of old, he frequently looked to drive City forward or pick up possession on the edge of the box.
