Arsene Wenger will listen to criticism of Arsenal but is in no doubt his side are moving in the right direction.

Another man keen to take his chance was goalkeeper Vito Mannone, who again replaced the injured Wojciech Szczesny. The Italian was partially at fault for Lescott's goal as he came out to claim David Silva's corner and got nowhere near it, but he also made good saves from Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko and Vincent Kompany. Wenger said: "Mannone had a good game again, he was very solid. He made a little mistake from the corner and was very frustrated with it, but overall I'm happy that it didn't affect his game afterwards. He looks very solid, I like what he's doing." Mannone was also content with the way he responded to his mistake, telling Arsenal's official website: "I was not happy with the goal, obviously, but I came back stronger with some saves. "The team performed really well and everyone gave everything to come back and get a point. Every save that can help the team, I am really happy with."
