Nasri: City will win title before Gunners

Samir Nasri insists Manchester City will still win the title before his former club Arsenal, following the 1-0 defeat to the Gunners at the Emirates.

Mikel Arteta’s late shot from distance saw the hosts take a slender victory to leave City eight points adrift of table-toppers Manchester United and all but end their hope of taking their first championship since 1968.

Frenchman Nasri,who left north London for Manchester in the summer, had previously said that his new team would claim the title before his former and despite losing out to Arsene Wenger’s side, is standing by his statement.

“I’m aware what I said about titles,” Nasri wrote on Twitter.

“I’m sure I will lift a trophy with Man City before AFC.

“And to all the Arsenal fans, move on. City are 10 points ahead of you.

“Just support your team and forget about me.”
