Arsene Wenger 'likes' Vito Mannone's progress

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was impressed with goalkeeper Vito Mannone's performance against Manchester City on Sunday.

The 24-year-old Italian was in goal at the Etihad Stadium, as the Gunners drew 1-1 with the Premier League champions.

"He had a good game again today," said Wenger on Arsenal's official website. "He looks very solid.

"He made a little mistake in the corner [for Manchester City's goal] and was very frustrated with it, but overall I am happy that it didn't affect his game after. I like what he is doing."

Mannone joined Arsenal from Atalanta in 2005.
