Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has insisted that he and his teammates are "more determined" to win the Premier League title following their defeat to Manchester United.
The current champions suffered a blow in their campaign after losing 3-2 to their fierce rivals yesterday and falling six points adrift of the top spot.
"The title race is not finished, anything but," Toure told the club's official website. "We will continue to give United problems in the league and at the end of the season I hope we will win it again.
"Disappointing though this defeat is, it only makes us more determined to win the title. We have to be strong mentally and strong in every other way as well, but our championship challenge is not finished."
City next face Newcastle United in their league campaign.
