The visitors were made to work for their win and only found the breakthrough in the final 20 minutes at KCOM Stadium as Mike
Phelan’s troops held their own
Yaya Toure netted in his third Boxing Day match in a row for Manchester City as they saw off Hull City 3-0 in a late surge.
The Ivorian kept his cool to put Pep Guardiola’s men ahead in the 72nd minute from the penalty spot after Raheem Sterling was brought down in the area.
Kelechi Iheanacho sealed all three points six minutes later from David Silva’s assist in an excellent team move.
Sterling was then instrumental in the final goal as his ball across goal was turned by Hull’s Curtis Davies into his own net.
