MANCHESTER CITY 5 FULHAM 0
Man City - Toure 26' (pen), 54' (pen), 65', Fernandinho 84', Demichelis 88'
Red cards - F Amorebieta (Fulham)
Man of the match - Yaya Toure (Manchester City)
MANCHESTER // Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini described his title-chasing side's 5-0 win on Saturday over 10-man Fulham as a "complete performance".
Yaya Toure scored a hat-trick as City eased past the struggling Fulham at the Etihad Stadium to climb to third. Fernandinho and Martin Demichelis also got on the scoresheet as bottom side Fulham capitulated after the sending off of Fernando Amorebieta early in the second half.
The goals scored were a fine riposte to top two Chelsea and Liverpool – who both scored six goals on the same day.
“It was a complete performance because we kept a clean sheet again. For me that is important,” Pellegrini said. “In the last part of the season I think we must be a very balanced team – not only scoring five goals but it is important not to concede goals.”
Toure’s first two goals were penalties, both conceded by Amorebieta, the second of which brought about his dismissal. He then curled in a sublime third from long range to take his tally for the season to 20.
The Ivorian is the third City player to reach that mark this season after Sergio Aguero and Alvaro Negredo while Edin Dzeko, who missed the game through illness, has 18.
Pellegrini said: “Maybe at the beginning of the season he received some criticism that he was not defending well, but defending is not allowing him to play freer.
“He is a very important player playing the way he likes to play. Scoring 20 goals for a midfielder is not easy in a season.”

Can NRIs vote in the election?
Indians residing overseas cannot cast their ballot abroad
Non-resident Indians or NRIs can vote only by going to a polling booth in their home constituency
There are about 3.1 million NRIs living overseas
Indians have urged political parties to extend the right to vote to citizens residing overseas
A committee of the Election Commission of India approved of proxy voting for non-resident Indians
Proxy voting means that a person can authorise someone residing in the same polling booth area to cast a vote on his behalf.
This option is currently available for the armed forces, police and government officials posted outside India
A bill was passed in the lower house of India’s parliament or the Lok Sabha to extend proxy voting to non-resident Indians
However, this did not come before the upper house or Rajya Sabha and has lapsed
The issue of NRI voting draws a huge amount of interest in India and overseas
Over the past few months, Indians have received messages on mobile phones and on social media claiming that NRIs can cast their votes online
The Election Commission of India then clarified that NRIs could not vote online
The Election Commission lodged a complaint with the Delhi Police asking it to clamp down on the people spreading misinformation
