Arsenal game in past says defender

Manchester City defender Kolo Toure has urged his side not to dwell on last week's defeat by Arsenal. Roberto Mancini's men were beaten for just the second time of the season when the Gunners capitalised on the early sending off of Dedryck Boyata to coast to a 3-0 win at Eastlands. It saw City slip to fourth in the Premier League, but Toure wants them to bounce back when they visit Wolves on Saturday. "It's been a difficult week," said the former Gunner in the Daily Star. "We know we are good enough to beat Arsenal with 11 men and we proved that last season. "But that's gone now and we need to forget about that game. Our focus has to be on the next one. "There is a new game that we need to win and that's the most important thing." And Toure wants City to send out a message against Mick McCarthy's men, adding: "The key is to win the games you expect to win. "It's a massive game for us to show what we can do."
