Man City captain Walker: Arsenal fans let off fireworks - we weren't there!

Manchester City star Kyle Walker has no illusions about the title race being over.

The defender knows that winning on the final day against West Ham United will not be easy.

But City have their fate in their own hands after beating Tottenham 2-0 on Tuesday night.

Post-game, Walker told Sky Sports: "It was very difficult with the emotions riding on it but the lads did the job they needed to do. It is one step closer. You have to take every game as it comes. We had a job to do tonight but we know how things can swing.

"We prepare, we recover and West Ham is another final and hopefully we can go and make history for this great club. It is not job done by a million miles.

“Hopefully we can get the win. If I didn't enjoy the pressure, I would be in the wrong job and the wrong team.

"Last night, I couldn't sleep. They (Arsenal fans) tried to set fireworks off but we weren't there, they missed us. I can't describe the feeling when we went 2-0 up.

"It was an unusual game but we are competitors. Spurs could have gone and got the Champions League. You could see they were putting everything on the line to win the game."
