Manchester City’s Yaya Toure, the Ivory Coast midfielder, was subjected to “monkey chants” during his side’s 2-1 Champions League win against CSKA Moscow in Russia.

City is expected to make a formal complaint to UEFA, the game’s European governing body, with Toure urging for action to be taken following his side’s victory courtesy of two goals from Sergio Aguero.

“A couple of months ago, a friend was playing at Milan and he had the same problem, and today with me again, it’s always the same,” he told the club’s official website.
