Manchester City will appeal against Vincent Kompany's red card at Arsenal, Roberto Mancini has confirmed.

The result kept City within seven points of leaders Manchester United, but the manager was frustrated by his forwards' failure to kill off the game long before the end. He said: "It was easier after the (Koscielny) sending-off, but in the second half we were too soft and missed three or four goals. "We could have done better with our strikers when we attacked in the second half because we needed to close the game."
