Arsene Wenger insists it is ‘too far’ to speak about the title after Arsenal defeat Manchester City

Arsene Wenger believes it is too soon to talk about his Arsenal side winning their first Premier League title since 2004, despite beating Manchester City 2-1.

Mesut Ozil starred as he layed on his 14th and 15th assists of the season for Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud before Yaya Toure pulled one back for the visitors.

Arsenal now sit four points clear of third-placed City and only two points behind table-toppers Leicester City and Wenger believes results like this will only add to the growing belief of his players.

“It is important to fight at the top (of the league) for belief,” said Wenger.

“This type of game strengthens the belief of the players, our environment and our fans.

“What we can guarantee is to go for it and to want it. After that it is too far to speak about championships now.

“What we have to realise is you earn your right to win these games and we put the effort in today.”
