Manchester City's Yaya Toure eyes goals record

Yaya Toure believes that Manchester City can better Chelsea's record of 103 goals in a single Premier League season.

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has said that he is confident his side can break the Premier League goals record this season.

Chelsea hold the current record of 103 goals in a single season, which they achieved during their title-winning campaign of 2009-10.

When asked if Manuel Pellegrini's City, who have netted 34 goals so far this term, can overhaul the Blues' record, Toure told reporters: "I hope so - we have the strikers.

"The two guys up front (Alvaro Negredo and Sergio Aguero) are unbelievable. They are very confident. But it's not just about those two players. It's the whole team.

"We are very attacking and all the strikers enjoy it, even [Edin] Dzeko and [Stevan] Jovetic. The team is concentrated on attacking. It's fantastic. And when you win like we did against Tottenham it is fantastic. They are a serious contender in the Premier League this year."

City defeated Tottenham Hotspur 6-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday to move up to fourth in the league table.
