Vincent Kompany says City made it easy for Blues

Manchester City skipper Vincent Kompany has admitted the club made it too easy for Chelsea to claim the Premier League title last season.

The Blues enjoyed a relative stroll to glory as they finished eight points ahead of nearest rivals City at the top of the table.

As they returned for pre-season yesterday, Kompany and his team-mates had not forgotten the ease with which Chelsea dethroned them, and work to ensure there is no repeat this time around is now starting in earnest.
