And the improvement has not gone unnoticed by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger who has heaped praise on the Bulargian - and even compared him to an Arsenal legend.

"Berbatov is a bit like Thierry," Wenger said. "He doesn't turn up where you want him to be. Left, right, centre, he goes everywhere. He has the same temperament as Thierry, too. He shows his emotions. He was outstanding today."

Berbatov looked unhappy at times against Arsenal, throwing his arms into the air in disgust at poor passes or missed chances but he has had a reported £20m price tag put on his head and said last week he did not want to leave as he loved the club and its fans.
