Roberto Mancini reveals his disappointment with his side's 0-0 draw with Swansea City, insisting that they deserved all three points.

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has revealed his disappointment with his side's 0-0 draw away at Swansea City.

The Citizens managed to secure second place with their point at the Liberty Stadium, but the Italian was left to rue missed chances.

Samir Nasri, David Silva and Edin Dzeko all missed good opportunities during the game, while Mancini also insisted that his side should have been awarded a penalty.

"I think we played well and we deserved to win," he told reporters after the game. "But we missed five incredible chances, Nasri, Silva and Dzeko all had good opportunities to score.

"I also think we should have had a penalty for a foul on Dzeko, I don't know why the referee didn't give it. We were motivated to win this game because we want to secure the second position.

"We have the final on Saturday and if we won today it would have been better for us."

City face Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup final on Saturday.
