A brilliant second season for Yaya included scoring 20 goals in 35 Premier League games — in his new attacking midfielder role — and a part in an historic last minute title victory which would later be described as the most thrilling final moment in Premier League history.
While Yaya was away making history at the Africa Cup of Nations in January , City struggled, recording just one win in six games, prompting observers to comment on the vital role that he plays for the club. The midfielder was also man of the match, and scored the only goal, in a FA Cup semi-final win over rivals Manchester United. Yaya repeated that feat in the final, scoring the only goal at Wembley to defeat Stoke City to give City a first major trophy in 35 years.
Yaya also passed ten league goals in all competitions for the first time in his career, notching six assists. Yaya helped Manchester City secure a first league championship in 44 years and was similarly important in Europe. A first Champions League brace came in a win at Villarreal in November and he later scored the opening goal as City claimed a home win over Bayern Munich.
December saw Yaya crowned African Footballer of the Year for the first time, particularly impressive for a midfielder, as in the preceding 12 years the award had gone to strikers. The abuse did not affect the on-field performance of Yaya, who assisted a crucial late winner for Sergio Aguero in the win against FC Porto, before notching another assist in the second leg that helped secure a aggregate triumph for City.
In March of Yaya scored a late goal to rescue a draw at Stoke City, an extra point that proved crucial in the title race, and City overturned an eight-point deficit to Manchester United across the last six matches.
Yaya was integral in a home victory over United, before scoring a crucial brace in a win against Newcastle in early May. He then assisted the opening goal in a win over Queens Park Rangers on the final day of the season to secure a first league title for City since , with Yaya claiming six goals and six assists. Yaya began with goals in his first three matches, before making his th City appearance in a September draw with Arsenal.
He was awarded man of the match for his performance during a win over Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final, before City eventually lost to Wigan in the final. Yaya contributed seven goals and five assists, despite being predominantly used in a withdrawn midfield role.
Yaya marked his th Premier League appearance with a goal from a free kick, as City dispatched Newcastle United in their opening Premier League game. This proved an omen for what followed as City eventually went on to win a second Premier League title, with Yaya more regularly offered greater freedom in an attacking-midfield role.
Yaya produced a man of the match performance in a September win against title holders and local rivals Manchester United, scoring a goal along the way.
