Kyle Walker has spoken about his memorable celebration on the final day of the Premier League season, an iconic moment that is sure to go down in Manchester City folklore.
In the seconds that followed Ilkay Gundogan's dramatic winner that sealed a 3-2 come-from-behind win against Aston Villa and with it the Premier League title, City's substitutes swarmed onto the pitch to celebrate with their on-field teammates.
The images of Gundogan sliding on his knees, Phil Foden hands-on-head in disbelief and Bernardo Silva scurrying across from the bench will live long in the memory.
But while his teammates ran towards the action, Walker headed in the other direction, straight towards a rocking Family Stand.

The CityTV cameras - trained on Pep Guardiola as the goal went in - quickly pivoted to focus on Walker, as the 32-year-old forgot about the injury that had kept him on the sidelines and charged down the touchline.

"If the fans weren't there I could have carried on all the way back to Sheffield," Walker said. "I remember turning round to Jack [Grealish] when we were 2-0 down and he's looking at me thinking 'what's happened here.'"
Walker was on the bench that day, but an ankle injury meant he was never going to come on. He fought through the pain
