Toure is amazed by City's desire to win

This past Sunday's match against Arsenal, was a perfect test for all the young Citizen players to prove they can be reliable to Pep Guardiola. Veteran midfielder Yaya Toure was pleasantly surprised for the youngsters' resolve to impress the manager. He believes that keeping things up like this, Manchester City will compete for the title until the very last match of the season. 

Talking to Sky Sports, Toure said: "It was brilliant. We need this focus and this kind of desire to go to the top. Arsenal have been a brilliant team from the beginning of the season until now, we did very well. It was very tough in the first half when they had a couple of chances, but defensively we were brilliant. I think [in the second half] we had more hunger and were more clinical at the end. [Kelechi] Iheanacho and Raheem were brilliant and they gave us a lift.

"In the second half, we were more aggressive and we totally dominated the game. I think we deserved to win. It was about tactics and desire. We were more clever. Arsenal are very dangerous on the counter attack, when they get the ball to Theo Walcott and Alexis [Sanchez]. They are very clever players, but I think the defense did very well. Then we have a fantastic striker like Raheem up front, who did a big, big job."
