Man City close on leaders Chelsea

Yaya Toure scored the only goal of the match as Manchester City beat Everton 1-0 to close the gap on Chelsea to three points, as the leaders suffered their first league defeat.

The Ivorian tucked away a first-half penalty to earn the champions their fifth consecutive victory in all competitions.

One low note for City was an injury to Sergio Aguero which forced his withdrawal after just seven minutes.

Substitute Papiss Cisse struck twice as Newcastle United secured a 2-1 win to end Chelsea's 23-match unbeaten run in all competitions.
