Manchester City No2 Mark Bowen says management are delighted with Craig Bellamy's recent form.

Bowen told City's website: "Craig's been fantastic for us. We knew when we brought him into the club what he would give the team and squad in general. On the pitch his work-rate is exceptional.

"His honesty, the way he approaches a game and works for his team-mates, has endeared him to the squad. He's very demanding on the training ground and will always be that way because he wants the best from everybody around.

"He deserved his goal against Arsenal. He's created one or two for other people as well, and for him to get on the end and finish the way he did will keep his confidence high."
