Mancini 'angry' over goal conceded

Roberto Mancini was pleased to get another win under his belt but was "angry" at seeing Manchester City concede the first goal under his management.

City romped to a handsome 4-1 win over Blackburn Rovers to extend Mancini's 100% start to his managerial career. Mancini praised his charges' display but was disappointed by Morten Gamst Pedersen's consolation goal for Blackburn.

"It was a good night for us. The players played very well in this match. I thought this match was very hard," he told ESPN.

"Carlos Tevez played very, very well. All the team concentrated for 90 minutes but I'm angry because we conceded a goal. Our gift. I think it's most important we stay concentrated for all the time.

"For me we were playing very, very well. We must continue to play well and not concede one goal."

The win took City up to fourth in the Barclays Premier League - just seven points behind leaders Chelsea - but Mancini is not getting carried away just yet.

He added: "We don't watch the table. We watch the table (in) two months. Now it is not important.

"There are 17 games to the end. Now it's important that we continue this way, we continue to play well and we continue to improve."
