Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has urged Yaya Toure to build on his performance against Aston Villa after he notched his first goal of the season in its 2-0 victory.

The Cote d'Ivoire midfielder has started the season slowly but looked like something back to his best as City kept the pressure up on Premier League leader Chelsea.

City had, however, been frustrated for large periods of the game at Villa Park against a disciplined and organized home defense.
