Kyle Walker opened up to 'Sky Sports' about how Manchester City's losing run felt like the club were fighting to stay in the Premier League.

Pep Guardiola's side suffered three consecutive defeats, two against Liverpool and one against Manchester United, before beating Tottenham 3-1 to lift the Premier League title after their rivals lost 1-0 to West Brom at the weekend.

The turnaround has been undoubtedly welcomed by manager, players and fans alike and Walker has revealed to 'Sky Sports' what the past couple of weeks have been like for the 'Sky Blues'. 

The full-back said: "We've had probably the toughest period, definitely in my career at the club.

"We've gone from doing so well in all competitions to take three losses, and sometimes it felt like it was a relegation battle in there with the mood.

"We're all winners and we want to win and in those games unfortunately we didn't. But we put that right. That shows the character and the belief in the standard of players in the dressing room."

Walker also reflected on his first return to his former club Spurs since making the switch up North in the summer, insisting that he has no regrets about moving on. 

"To be competing in the Premier League since I was 19 and to play all the games I played in the Premier League, to not win the Premier League, it was a bit devastating for me not to have won it with Tottenham.

"So to come here and win in my first season, it's fantastic for me. You always say is the grass greener on the other side, and it looks it."
