Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has sent a message to Arsenal after their dashed Premier League title hopes.
Walker said that the Gunners deserve credit for the fantastic season they have had after it was confirmed on Saturday that the defending champions, Manchester City, had reclaimed the title.
It was Manchester City’s third successive league title after Arsenal were beaten 1-0 by Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
The Gunners were hoping to win their first Premier League title since 2004, and they were top of the table for the majority of the campaign.
“It’s been a little madness in there [first-team building], but we’re fully focused on the Chelsea match [on Sunday afternoon],” Walker told Man City’s official website.
“We’ll celebrate after tomorrow at some stage, maybe, but we have more games coming up. I would have loved to have won it tomorrow, go out and beat Chelsea.
“Arsenal pushed us right to the limit; they’ve been fantastic, so all credit to them. But we just went on an incredible run; they had a few hiccups, and we capitalised on them, and we’ve managed to end up where we are now.”
