Dimitar Berbatov News

Pep Guardiola has hit back at former Manchester United stars Patrice Evra and Dimitar Berbatov for criticising the character of his Manchester City side after their painful Champions League exit.

Despite Monaco's shaky form at home in the competition this season -- they have won two, drawn one and lost the other -- the 34-year-old former Manchester United striker believes the tie is far from over.

Berbatov calmly scored from the penalty spot for his second league goal this season after Alexander Kacaniklic was fouled by Leandro Bacuna in the box.

Palace never recovered from Kasami's first half wonder-goal and Steve Sidwell, Dimitar Berbatov and Philippe Senderos gave Fulham a 4-1 victory.

Despite Juventus holding a 2-0 lead at half-time following a Carlos Tevez penalty and a strike from Paul Pogba, the champions crumbled during 14 second-half minutes in which 'La Viola' staged a remarkable comeback.

Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho handed Juan Mata a rare start at third-tier Swindon Town and he created the opening goal in the 29th minute with a shot that was parried by Wes Foderingham for Fernando Torres to tap home.

Former Bayern Munich striker Gomez was one of Vincenzo Montella's key summer signings but had to be stretchered off four minutes into the second half of Sunday's game after clashing with visiting goalkeeper Michael Agazzi.

The 28-year-old joined Fiorentina from Bayern having spent most of last season on the bench and said his desire for regular first-team football made it an easy decision to turn down Carlo Ancelotti's Real.

The present incumbent Jose Mourinho - Benitez' spell as caretaker manager ended at the end of last season - will be eager to put one over Bayern's coach Pep Guardiola, his nemesis from his days in Spain.

Liverpool squandered a two-goal lead but Daniel Sturridge and Jordan Henderson ensured a 4-2 victory in extra-time.
