WATCH: Yaya Toure Curls Home Perfect Free Kick Against Crystal Palace

A beautiful hit from the Ivorian midfielder

Yaya Toure may divide opinion among Manchester City supporters nowadays, with his constant clashes with club management and the actions of his agent Dimitri Seluk not exactly endearing him to many fans, but there's no denying the giant Ivorian's ability. Especially when it comes to striking a dead ball.

Pep Guardiola's men cruised through to the fifth round of the FA Cup with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park and it was Toure who put the icing on the cake with a late free kick from 25 yards.






Goals from Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane had already all but sealed the victory for City before Toure stepped up to curl home that beauty.

Toure, who wasn't in Pep Guardiola's plans at the beginning of the season and wasn't named in City's Champions League squad at all, has proven to be rather important in the last few months, with Ilkay Gundogan being ruled out for the remainder of the season, last month and Fernandinho unable to play more than a couple of games without being sent off.

Despite his problems with Pep Guardiola, Toure has still turned out 14 times for City this season, scoring five times.
