Manchester City captain Fernandinho hopes to leave this summer a Premier League winner.

The veteran Brazilian midfielder is set to leave the Etihad Stadium this summer after nine years with the club.

City have been locked in a tight title race with Liverpool this season but events over the weekend have put them firmly in control of their destiny.

After their 5-0 win against Newcastle, the 37-year-old said: “Every title is sweet. It's going to be one more… with a little more sugar.

"It was a great response but at the same time we are focusing on ourselves and know the title is in our hands.

“It doesn't matter what they do over there, we have to keep going through all the hard games.

“This is what we are trying to do, focus on ourselves, but I thought it was a great response after defeat in Madrid, especially for our fans and ourselves because when you lose a match like this, the confidence can go a little bit down.

“But not just the result, the performance overall was really good and we are really happy about that."
