Arsenal pushed us but we capitalised on their ‘hiccups’, says Man City’s Walker

The Hindu  

Arsenal was worthy contender in the title race but Manchester City upped its game when it mattered most to win its fifth Premier League trophy in six years, defender Kyle Walker said. Arsenal’s eight-point lead at the top evaporated in the last two months amid a wretched run of form and Saturday’s 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest gave City an unassailable lead as it won the title with three games to spare after an incredible run. Since Pep Guardiola’s City lost 1-0 away at Tottenham Hotspur at the start of February, it won 13 of their 14 games and did not lose en route to the title. We achieved so much over the past five or six years, but we knew the bar wasn’t high enough at the start of the season.” City also had the psychological edge in the title race after it beat Arsenal twice in that run, scoring four in the second game -- a blow Arsenal briefly recovered from before it withered under pressure.
