Pep Guardiola thinks Yaya Toure can be like a new player for Manchester City after his double helped them to a 2-1 victory at Crystal Palace. Toures only previous first-team appearance for City under Guardiola came in their 1-0 Champions League defeat of Steaua Bucharest on August 24.The Ivory Coast international found himself on the sidelines after his agent Dimitri Seluk had been vocal in his criticism of Guardiola, who he said had humiliated Toure by omitting him from their Champions League squad. But the 33-year-old apologised for misunderstandings of the past and Guardiola handed him an unexpected start at Selhurst Park.And the Spaniard was rewarded as Toures goals inspired City to all three points. Yaya Toure (R) put on an impressive display at Selhurst Park When asked about Toures performance, Guardiola told Sky Sports: Of course for the two goals [he was good] but it [Toures performance] was more than that.Nobody has doubts about his quality.The last month and a half hes trained and his physical condition has improved.His weight is now perfect. When he arrived he was not like this but now hes like a young guy. Of course we have a new player now to help us achieve our targets. Im so happy for him and for his family. Toure gave Man City the lead in the first half Toure opened the scoring in the 39th minute before Connor Wickham equalised for the hosts in the second-half.With the game heading towards a draw, Toure, who was described as a gift by Guardiola, popped up in the 83rd minute to tap home from close range to secure victory and move City level on points with Liverpool at the top of the Premier League.Yaya is an important part of this club, Guardiola said. He is so so important. In the years the club won the Premier League he was a huge personality and his team-mates appreciate him a lot.For me its a gift because we have another player to compete in the squad. Toure celebrates scoring his sides winner When we have games every three games you need to rotate the team. In this league it is intense because every team fights and fights and fights. We need all the players and Yaya is one of them.Captain Vincent Kompany also returned to Citys starting line-up but the defender only last 38 minutes after colliding with his own goalkeeper Claudio Bravo. Vincent Kompany was taken off injured in the first half The Belgium international suffered a nasty looking blow to the head and was replaced by Pablo Zabaleta, but Guardiola is hopeful the injury is not too bad.Hopefully it wont be dangerous, he said. He received a kick in his head so we have to be careful. Hes going for observation now so hopefully it wont be too bad.

Hes been cleared now to do some martial arts training, Zahabi said this week. Were going to take it one step at a time. Were going to get back in the gym, try to have some fun. You know he hasnt kicked and punched in a long time so were going to have some fun with it first.St-Pierre (25-2) vacated his title last December saying he needed time away from the sport. But he kept training.He underwent surgery in April after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament during a workout.

Zahabi says he cant speak for the former champion.But I believe theres still a lot of fire in him, said Zahabi. I just think he needs to balance his life a lot more.

He just needs to have some personal life as well.After a controversial razor-thin split decision over Johny (Bigg Rigg) Hendricks at UFC 167 last November, the battered champion seemed a man on the edge.I cant sleep at night now.

My hunch is that Georges will come back, said Wright, who also heads up UFC operations in Australia and New Zealand. But Georges will want to come back on his own terms.Id like to see nothing better.Since stepping aside, St-Pierre has talked of the need for more stringent drug testing in his sport.Wright points to the two different camps on GSPs fighting future. One wants St-Pierre to retire at the top of his game. The other says he has unfinished business and perhaps wants to go out on different terms.Who knows, said Wright.UFC president Dana White has said that St-Pierre could return to a title fight.St-Pierre has already cemented his legacy in the sport.
