Berbatov puts Spurs through

DIMITAR BERBATOV’S remarkable run of form continued as he helped ease Tottenham into the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup at the expense of SC Braga.

The Portuguese side had levelled the scores on aggregate with the opener in the second leg of the last-16 clash before Berbatov notched his 18th and 19th goals of the season before the break, both strikes of the highest quality.

Andrade’s powerful free-kick in the second half gave Braga hope of forcing extra-time, but Berbatov then set up Steed Malbranque to seal the win and maintain Tottenham’s 100% record in the competition this season.
