Manchester City captain Kyle Walker was full of pride after winning the Premier League title.

A 3-1 win against West Ham sees City clinch the title two points ahead of Arsenal.

Walker said, "I am the man at the front and I wear the armband but I don't put myself above anyone else. We are a team. There are four captains including myself, and we all pull our weight. I am just the man they've picked to wear the armband which I am very grateful for. To be able to lift the trophy in this scenario, the four in a row, it is a dream come true.

"We went out of the Champions League, got into the FA Cup final, but to do this, make it four in a row, it made it something special.

"We all knew the game at Tottenham, once we got over that hurdle, then it is in touching distance. To come here and play in front of our ow fans, where we haven't lost all season... We had the crowd behind us, we had the momentum and we had the confidence as well."

On how much the four in a row was discussed, he added: "It has been spoken about all year what we can achieve and the history we can make. But it is about the finer details. It was down to just one game and that game was West Ham United. We get past that then we make history but more importantly we claim the Premier League again.

"It is a very, very tough league to win. I looked at the Italian league, German league, Spanish league, the winners are 10-15 points clear. Fair play to Arsenal and Liverpool for what they have done throughout the season, making sure they push us right to the limit."
