Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson praised goalkeeper Edwin Van der Sar after his side's 4-0 win over Bolton.
After seeing Chelsea hit seven past Aston Villa, United responded in fine fashion ensuring they stay in touch with their title rivals goal difference.
Though his side found the net four times, Ferguson chose to praise his veteran goalkeeper after the game who made great saves from Johan Elmander and Fabrice Muamba in the first-half.
"Edwin Van der Sar made two brilliant saves - the second one was match-winning," he said.
United took the lead thanks to a Jlloyd Samuel own-goal and hammered home their victory in the second-half thanks to Darren Gibson's late strike after Dimitar Berbatov had rounded off a quality individual display with two goals.
The United manager was happy with result, but believes his side could have played better.
"It was difficult today," said Ferguson.
"At times we did play some decent football, but I would have liked to have seen us play a bit more."
