Dimitar Berbatov believes Tottenham could be a top four club, if they can cut out their defensive errors.

After Saturday's 6-4 victory over Reading, Berbatov said: "We have the potential because we finished fifth last year with pretty much the same team and we've shown our qualities many times.

"But we also show how bad we can be sometimes. We must cut that out.

"Everything is possible so we're going to fight and see what will happen."

Woeful marking from set-pieces and Nicky Shorey's pin-point delivery caused panic in hosts' defence, with Ledley King's return to fitness now looking important to Spurs' hopes.

"We won it, but in the end we must look over the mistakes we made and the goals we allowed to be scored against us," added Berbatov.

"We conceded easy goals from free-kicks and corners and that's not good because we keep doing that in every game.

"If we cut out the mistakes then we can go a long way. If you make mistakes it means the game is entertaining but, for me, I'll go home now, watch the game again and correct my mistakes as well."
