Manchester City<\/a> defender Vincent Kompany<\/a> is keen to get his name on the score sheet after so far failing to net this season.<\/p>\n

Following rare weekend strikes from Nigel de Jong and Pablo Zablaleta in City\u2019s 2-1 home win against West Ham, only Kompany and Jerome Boateng have now failed to hit the target this season.<\/p>\n

The Belgian international has managed to score in his previous two seasons at Eastlands and is desperate to bag himself a goal before the current campaign comes to an end.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe joke about this, but it is also a challenge,” the 25-year-old told the Manchester Evening News<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had better start working on it now – I can score as well so it can’t be that long before I get one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roberto Mancini\u2019s side are enjoying a relatively successful season as they are on the verge of securing a lucrative top four Champions Leage spot as well as having a visit to Wembley later this month to look forward to after reaching the FA Cup final for the first time in 30 years.<\/p>\n
