Hart modest after fine display-Fifa.com
Joe Hart was modest about his performance after Manchester City started their Premier League season with a 0-0 draw against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane.
Hart pulled off a series of world-class saves from Jermain Defoe, Tom Huddlestone and Benoit Assou-Ekotto in the first half as City survived an onslaught.
The 23-year-old got the nod in goal ahead of Shay Given but he refused to dwell on his own display. "It was just an enjoyable day, I love playing football," he said. "It was just another game I was looking forward to."
Of whether he believes he is City's number one goalkeeper, Hart added: "No. Shay Given is the other goalkeeper and I'm sure he'll get chances. We'll be pushing each other, he's a great goalkeeper."
While City struggled before half-time, they improved in the second 45 minutes with Shaun Wright-Phillips having the best of his side's chances.
Hart said: "We needed to get a result today as a big team. There's been so much speculation about us. We had to dig in in the first half. But we had a few chances and maybe we could have taken them."
