Ilkay Gundogan: 'Enormous privilege' to captain Man City to Premier League title
Ilkay Gundogan said it was an "enormous privilege" to captain Manchester City to a third straight Premier League title after Arsenal's pursuit fell short following Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest.
The Gunners needed to win to delay City’s title celebrations ahead of their home match against Chelsea on Sunday.
However, Taiwo Awoniyi’s first-half goal proved enough to give Forest victory in front of a raucous home crowd, which secured their own top-flight status.
It means City are crowned champions for a fifth time in six seasons with three games to spare.
“To have helped the club win a third straight Premier League title is something very special,” Gundogan said on the Manchester City website.
“The Premier League is without doubt the most demanding and competitive league in the world so that tells you everything about what an achievement this is.
So, how many #PL titles is that for you both?
