Arsenal keeper Mannone delighted with personal Hull form

Arsenal goalkeeper Vito Mannone is delighted with his form on-loan at Hull City.

Mannone himself is yet to concede a league goal since he returned to the club on loan - much to the delight of the 23-year-old Italian.

"I'm very happy with that statistic," he told Hull's website.

"We've kept three clean sheets in the league since I came back to the club, which is pleasing.

"It's always nice to keep clean sheets as a goalkeeper. I'm just trying to work hard and perform to the best of my ability in every game I play.

"I must stress it's a team effort though. We defend from the front and everyone - the defence, midfield and attack - have contributed to our impressive clean sheet tally this season.

"Keeping a clean sheet always gives you a good platform to build on in order to try and win games.

"We just need to make sure we continue to be positive going forward in order to score more goals."
