Yaya Toure's goal helped Manchester City earn their first major silverware for 35 years after they beat Stoke in a closely-fought FA Cup final.

David Silva should have rewarded City for a good first half and Thomas Sorensen also saved superbly from Mario Balotelli's curler.
But after Joe Hart stopped Kenwyne Jones' effort, Toure lashed in on 74 minutes when the ball broke to him.
City's win was their first major trophy since victory in the 1976 League Cup.
And it follows up Champions League qualification which was secured by finishing at least fourth in the Premier League after beating Tottenham on Tuesday.
