I had a sleepless night - Walker declares

The Defender admitted to experiencing a restless night before their crucial 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

"I think that maybe sometimes people forget we are humans and the emotion, the nerves, the adrenaline, it’s all running through your body.

"I couldn’t sleep on Monday night. I was scrambling to get half an hour at the hotel before the game. And then everything is going through your head.

"I thought we lost a lot of silly balls in the first half but we came out in the second half after having a talking to by the manager.

"He was saying that as long as we can look each other in the eyes at the end of the game and say we have done our best that he is not going to judge us on this one game, because what we have done as a collective over the last few years has been fantastic," Walker said.

Man City needs one more win to clinch a historic fourth consecutive Premier League title as they host West Ham on the final day.
