Manuel Pellegrini "satisfied" with draw

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini admits that he is "satisfied" to have picked up a point in the Manchester derby at Old Trafford.

Manuel Pellegrini has admitted that he is "satisfied" to have come away from Old Trafford with a point following a goalless draw in the Manchester derby.

Manchester United hit the woodwork and forced a save from Joe Hart in the final 10 minutes, but were unable to break the deadlock, leaving Manchester City to climb back to the top of the Premier League table.

"It is a good point. If you can't win, then don't lose it. People have said that we can't defend and in the second half we did very well," BBC Sport quotes the manager as saying.

"We lost so much possession of the ball and we had to concentrate. United had two late chances but overall is was close. I am satisfied with a point but I don't like to play this way."

City have won just two of their last five fixtures in the Premier League.
