Fletcher praises Man Utd pal Berbatov after Spurs performance

Darren Fletcher praised Manchester United teammate Dimitar Berbatov after victory over Tottenham.

Berbatov dipped into his repertoire of silky touches to produce the back heel that sent Patrice Evra into the area that won United the breakthrough penalty.

And his lone unselfish battles with King and Dawson were hailed by Reds midfielder Fletcher.

"Dimitar was throwing himself about up-front against two in-form centre-halves," said the Scot.

"He was causing a lot of problems with a lot of unselfish work that allowed others to claim credit for the win."
