Arsenal were worthy contenders in the title race but Manchester City upped their game when it mattered most to win their 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'sat Nottingham Forest gave City an unassailable lead as they won the title with three games to spare after an incredible run.

"Arsenal pushed us right to the limit, they've been fantastic, so all credit to them. We just went on an incredible run, they had a few hiccups, we capitalised on it and we've managed to end up where we have," Walker told City's website. "As for inspiration, there's the captains, managers and so on but we drive ourselves. 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."

Man City wins English Premier League after Arsenal loses at Nottingham ForestManchester City has clinched a third straight English Premier League title after second-placed Arsenal lost at Nottingham Forest 1-0 to cap its end-of-season collapse. City holds an unassailable four-point lead with Arsenal having only one game remaining. It is City's seventh league crown in a 12-season period during which the Abu Dhabi-owned club has changed the face of the English game. City’s latest title owes as much to its end-of-season streak of 11 straight victories as it does to an implosion by Arsenal just when a first league title since was in sight.
