Toure hails 'perfect' Manchester City send off

Yaya Toure lauded Manchester City 's campaign as "perfect" after he completed his final home game for the club in the 3-1 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion , highlighting his winning goal in the 2011 FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United as his finest moment.

Toure will leave City at the end of the season, having become a bit-part player under Pep Guardiola, bringing his eight-year spell at the club to a close.

To mark his final appearance as a City player at the Etihad Stadium, Toure captained the side against Brighton, as goals from Danilo, Bernardo Silva and Fernandinho – all set up by the fantastic Leroy Sane – moved the Premier League champions onto a record tally of 97 points .
