Fulham boss Martin Jol admits Dimitar Berbatov's volley against Stoke City had a back-story.

Berbatov rushed straight to the Dutchman after hitting his superb winner.

Jol said: "Dimitar always scores between 15 and 25 goals [a season] so it would be silly to think that he can't score 15 to 20 goals for us - that is what I always have in mind. His goal was a good one but I can remember him scoring a lot of great goals.

"I said a couple of months ago that he never scored from volleys anymore, that is why he came up to me! It's the first goal he's scored from a volley [for Fulham] and in the past he did that all the time. He tried to prove a point because he's a good sport."
