Adelaide coach Don Pyke says hes highly confident gun onballer Brad Crouch will sign a new deal in the coming weeks.There are reports the 22-year-old, who is out of contract at the end of the season, has agreed to terms for an extension which will keep him at West Lakes until the end of 2020.Clearly, hes a wanted player and thats been communicated clearly to Brad in terms of where the contract sits, Pyke said on Thursday.We remain really confident that well be able to sign Brad pretty shortly.Securing a new deal for Crouch would represent a big win for Adelaide after a number of Melbourne-based clubs were linked to the Victorian.The powerful midfielder, who gathered a season-best 34-touches in Adelaides 138-point flogging of Brisbane on Saturday, is considered a key figure in the Crows midfield plans following the departure of Patrick Dangerfield.Crouch missed games early in the season with a hamstring injury and was dropped to the SANFL after struggling for form but has since strung together seven consecutive games and played some of his best football.I know there was a period there where he was a bit frustrated when he was looking to play AFL footy, Pyke said.It was always part of the plan in my eyes to get him back (to the SANFL) to give him the confidence in his body and how he was playing so that when he came back in wed see this sort of form.Its good from a coaching viewpoint because its validated our approach towards him and how we tried to manage him.I think hes now seeing the benefit in terms of being able to play the way we know he can play with his explosive speed and ball-winning ability and hes able to do it through four quarters.Crouch, whose younger brother Matt has also cemented a spot in the Crows midfield this year, has had a cursed injury run during his short career, missing all of last season with a foot injury and breaking his leg in 2014.He finished second behind Gold Coasts Jaeger OMeara in AFL Rising Star voting in his debut season in 2013.Pyke meanwhile confirmed ruckman Sam Jacobs will miss Sundays clash with Fremantle at Subiaco Oval after struggling to recover from an ankle injury.His absence means rookie Reilly OBrien will go head-to-head with imposing Dockers star Aaron Sandilands.

LONDON -- Yaya Toure returned from his Manchester City exile to score twice, inspiring the team to a 2-1 victory at Crystal Palace in the English Premier League on Saturday.The Ivorian midfielder was a surprise inclusion in Pep Guardiolas starting XI, making his first Premier League appearance of the season, and justified his selection by scoring goals in the 39th and 83rd minutes to bring City level on 27 points with first-placed Liverpool.Substitute Connor Wickhams 66th-minute goal briefly made it 1-1 but Palace slumped to a fifth successive defeat.Toures only previous first-team appearance this season came in Citys 1-0 win over Steaua Bucharest in a Champions League qualifier on Aug. 24. His agent, Dimitri Seluk, had been vocal in his criticism of City manager Pep Guardiola, who he said had humiliated Toure by omitting him from the squad for the Champions League group stage.That led to Toure being ostracized by Guardiola, only for the midfielder to issue an apology for misunderstandings of the past.There was also a rare start for long-serving captain Vincent Kompany, but the defender only lasted until the 37th when he came off with a suspected head injury soon after teammate Claudio Bravo clattered into him when they challenged for the ball.It was in the 39th, after Palace defender Martin Kelly conceded possession, that Toures vision gave City the lead. Fromm the edge of a crowded penalty area, he received a pass from Sergio Aguero and played a one-two with Nolito before shooting powerfully beyond Wayne Hennessey -- via a deflection off James Tomkins -- into the back of the net.ddddddddddddPalace manager Alan Pardew responded at halftime by replacing Andros Townsend with Wickham and was rewarded when his team produced a greater intensity and Christian Benteke threatened with a header.As it pressed for the equalizing goal, City almost doubled its lead when Joel Ward, after Hennessey had taken the sting out of a near-post shot from Aguero, was forced to clear off the line, but the chance they needed almost instantly followed.With time in Citys half, Wilfried Zaha found Wickham in space and after a slightly heavy touch, the striker ran into the area and powerfully shot under Bravo.The exceptional talents of Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne on each of Citys wings led the response with which the visitors sought to restore their lead.Citys winning goal came from an 83rd-minute corner, with De Bruyne sending a low cross toward the near post where substitute David Silva dummied to deceive Hennessey and his defense.Toure routinely finished from in front of goal to seal an impressive comeback.
