Yaya Toure became just the second central midfielder in Premier League history to reach the 20-goal mark in a single season on Wednesday night.
The Ivorian, who reached the landmark by scoring a fine solo effort to round off Manchester City’s 4-0 win over Aston Villa, joins Chelsea’s Frank Lampard in the almost exclusive club.
Both players feature on our list of the Premier League’s top ten goalscoring CMs of all time:
10. Gary McAllister – Leeds United, Coventry City and Liverpool.
The 57-time Scotland international found the net on 49 occasions during his Premier League career. His final top-flight goal came at the age of 36 for Liverpool against Bradford City in May 2001.
