Manuel Pellegrini has said that Joe Hart made a "beautiful save" to help Manchester City to victory over Swansea City in the Premier League earlier today.

The England international made a one-handed stop to prevent Federico Fernandez make it 3-3 inside the final 10 minutes during the 4-2 victory at the Liberty Stadium.

"It was a beautiful save in a very important moment. Joe is the number one goalkeeper in England and I think he has improved a lot this season," BT Sport quotes the manager as saying.

"It's important for him but he most important thing is he has an open mind. He is only 28 years old and he must improve in a lot of things, but he is working hard to do it.

"It is difficult for a young goalkeeper to be so good at the start of his career and it is difficult to compare him with all the other goalkeepers here. There are three or four good goalkeepers in this league, but Joe must improve and not think he knows every thing at this moment. Every day he works hard."

Yaya Toure netted twice in the victory, while James Milner and former Swansea striker Wilfried Bony also got on the scoresheet.
