Yaya Touré

Not a remarkable match for Toure, but an overall better effort considering his defensive midfield counter part. Was unable to help break down Burnley’s defense or even maintain possession in the first half. His yellow card in the first half put even more pressure on to not make a mistake or potentially be down to 9 men for a long stretch. But keeping in mind he has played a lot of matches quickly after sitting out for so long, he is due a few down performances.
