Bulgarian forward Martin Petrov received high praise by the British press over his play in Sunday's Bolton-ManU game that ended 2:2, with some naming him player of the match.

Petrov scored the second of Bolton's two goals and directly assisted for the first.

Bolton received scores well over 7 about his performance, with Eurosport giving him as high as 8.

This was the first goal for this season for Petrov, who was pleased at his play.

The other Bulgarian in Sunday's game, Manchester United forward Dimitar Berbatov also received high ratings of his performance, but could not come to score.
