Costel happy to be Hart’s understudy
Date published: 02 December 2011
MANCHESTER City's second–choice goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon claims life is "getting better and better" at the club.
Pantilimon, signed on loan from Romanian side Poli Timisoara in the summer, impressed on a rare outing in Tuesday's Carling Cup quarter–final win at Arsenal.
The 6ft 8in international made fine saves from Alex Oxlade–Chamberlain and Park Chu–young as he kept City's first clean sheet in almost a month in the 1–0 win.
He will now make way for first choice Joe Hart as the leaders return to Barclays Premier League action against Norwich tomorrow, but he feels he is making good progress in Roberto Mancini's set–up.
