Isaksson wants to be number 1
Andreas Isaksson is determined to use his unexpected Manchester City debut to establish himself as Stuart Pearce's number one keeper.
The Swedish World Cup star has been dogged by injury since his £2m (?2.9m) summer arrival from Rennes, allowing Nicky Weaver to leapfrog above him in the City pecking order.
However, when Weaver was unable to continue after suffering a dead leg in the collision with Louis Saha that saw United grab their second goal at Old Trafford, Isaksson stepped into the breach in impressive fashion.
The 25-year-old pulled off a hat-trick of fine stops to deny Wayne Rooney alone and even though Weaver is expected to be fit for Sunday's home encounter with Tottenham, Isaksson could yet retain his place.
"It is never easy for a goalkeeper to come on like that but I felt I made some good saves," Isaksson told the Manchester Evening News.
