Berbatov again outstanding in Fulham victory

Dimitar Berbatov again was outstanding for Fulham in victory over Wigan Athletic.

The former Manchester United man was a class above all afternoon and picked out the head of Hugo Rodallega with a peach of a cross, while he was denied three times by Ali Al Habsi as he came close to adding to his two goals against West Brom last weekend.

Cottagers boss Martin Jol said: "I always thought he was a fantastic player, the only thing I see now is he can play in a different position as well.

"If you go and play against Wigan in an away game you take a big gamble to play with two strikers. I made the gamble to play with Hugo up top and Dimitar, and he was probably the best number 10 you can ever imagine."
