Berra impresses McCarthy

21 September 2009 08:16
Wolves manager Mick McCarthy singled out defender Christophe Berra for special praise after a 2-1 victory over Fulham at Molineux. The Scotland centre-back provided an assist for Kevin Doyle's opening goal - his first since a £6.5million summer transfer from Reading - and was dominant in the air at both ends of the pitch. He was particularly effective in repelling the Fulham pressure late on after Danny Murphy's penalty midway through the second half had set up a tense finish after Edwards scored Wolves' second just after the interval. "It was a good team performance. There have to be a lot of good performances for us to have won that game but I thought Christophe was a difference class," said McCarthy. "I believe he got man of the match, he'd have got my vote. In the last 10 minutes when they were throwing balls into the box he headed everything."
