Vincent Kompany Hails 'Exceptional' Liverpool After Manchester City Edge Historic Title Race

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has said that Liverpool 'did not deserve' to finish second in the Premier League this season, saying that the exceptional opposition makes their last-day title win all the sweeter.

Kompany's side required 98 points to clinch the title, a total that would normally see them win it comfortably, but they were pursued all the way by a Liverpool side who amassed the best points total ever recorded by a runner up.

City got there in the end, with their 4-1 win over Brighton on Sunday eventually putting it to bed on the last day of the season, but Kompany was full of praise for Jurgen Klopp's Reds, speaking to City's website after the match.
