The Ivory Coast midfielder was dropped from the squad ever since Pep Guardiola arrived to the Sky Blues. It's his first start and goal of the season.

Well, seems like Pep Guardiola will have to work on his apologies, as he was humbled by Yaya Toure's first goal of the season after a long spell on the sidelines.

Guardiola snubbed Touré until today, when he decided to include the African star into the team's lineup. The Catalan boss wasn't happy with comments made by Dimitri Seluk, Toure's agent, who blamed him for damaging his client's career. Guardiola demanded an apology from either Touré or Seluk, and the player decided to pen a statement to put an end to the controversy.

The player's answer on the pitch came via a thunderous right-footed strike which found the back of the net and gave him some credibility, while Guardiola's decision of snubbing him will go down in history as one of the most controversial calls of his career.

Here are some reactions by fans and experts.
