Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson praised Cristiano Ronaldo for his two-goal contribution to the 3-1 FA Cup fourth round victory at home to Tottenham Hotspur.
The Portuguese ace has already scored 25 goals this season, including seven in his last four games for the Red Devils, with Ferguson full of praise for the 22-year-old.
He told MUTV: "Ronaldo was fantastic again. He took the penalty well and was able to cash in on a mistake late on for the second goal.
"His performances have been fantastic and his goals return is amazing.
"But, overall, perhaps we weren't at the top of our game all over the pitch and some players were a little quiet. But I thought that Ryan Giggs and Carlos Tevez played very well.
"It was a very open match and I think it was a fantastic cup tie where both teams contributed to what was a great game.
"We dominated possession and we created a number of opportunities, but maybe our final ball wasn't as good as it can be and let us down a bit.
"But the most important thing is that we're in the next round. Being in the hat for the draw is the main thing and we've done that."
