Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp expressed his pleasure at Roman Pavlyuchenko's performance as he scored twice in his sides 4-0 victory over Bolton in the FA Cup.
Redknapp handed Pavlyuchenko a starting role for Spurs' FA Cup replay and the Russian striker took advantage of his opportunity when he put his side into a first-half lead before sealing victory in the final minutes.
"It's great to see Pavlyuchenko score four goals in two games, he's in great form and let's hope he can keep that up to the end of the season," said Redknapp.
Tottenham will now face Fulham in the quarter-finals, but Redknapp insisted his side must only concentrate their next match.
"It will be a difficult game at Craven Cottage, but we can only focus on the next game, and that's Everton in the league," he said.
Meanwhile Bolton manager Owen Coyle suggested the 4-0 scoreline was harsh on his team and denied that he had fielded a weakened line-up.
"Anyone who thinks that was a four-nil performance was watching a different game from me," he said.
"We lost the game, but 4-0 isn't a fair reflection. We had chances to score, but we didn't take them.
"I put out a team to win an FA Cup tie, and they could have done that."
