Yaya Toure and David Silva Agree to Arm Wrestle to Decide Who Gets Goal

Manchester City got their season off to the ideal start on Monday night with a comfortable 3-0 win away to West Brom.

The only point of controversy concerned who scored the first goal, with Yaya Toure's shot looking like it may have deflected off teammate David Silva on its way into the net.

After the game, the 6'2" Toure joked on Twitter that he and the diminutive Silva would have an arm wrestle to decide who got the goal:

"

Me and @21LVA will have an arm wrestle to settle who scored the first goal!! 😂💪🏾 Hope you guys enjoyed my second! 💥😊

"

Looks like someone has stolen my friend @21LVA's phone... Or he's just got very brave! 😂😂😂 #FindSilvaPhone 😉

But Silva wasn't shirking the challenge, promising to take the Ivorian on despite the odds:

"

Wrong my friend, I have my phone and you know I will take you on anytime @YayaToure 💪😂😂 pic.twitter.com/U41gPEriqQ

As much as this is an event we'd love to see, we doubt it would last long!
