Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has scored a hat-trick to help his side maintain their Premier League title challenge with a 5-0 win at home in the Etihad to bottom-ranked Fulham on Saturday.
Following the victory, City has moved to within six points of leaders Chelsea, with three games in hand.
According to Sport24, the Ivory Coast international completed his treble with an impressive third goal after he put City 2-0 up with Fernando Amorebieta conceding two penalties, and further strikes from Fernandinho and Martin Demichelis sealed a win for the club.
