Dimitar Berbatov played the full 90 minutes of Tottenham's 1-1 draw against Spanish second division side Hercules, but there was not even a place on the bench for Robbie Keane.
While Spurs' star strike duo continue to be the subject of intense transfer speculation, Darren Bent took the chance to show Juande Ramos his worth by levelling the scores from an Aaron Lennon corner after Addison had given the hosts an early lead.

Middlesbrough slumped to a late 1-0 pre-season defeat to Vitoria Guimaraes in the Algarve Challenge Cup.

Vitoria struck in the final minutes of the match as Dinis curled a free-kick past helpless Boro goalkeeper Ross Turnbull.

Leroy Lita ran riot as Reading cruised to a 4-1 victory over Swedish side Trollhatten.

The Royals could not break down Trollhatten's defence in the first half but Lita was in superb form after the break as he scored all four of his side's goals, while Martin Scherdin netted for the home team.

On a night for goalscoring heroics, Bristol Rovers forward Josh Klein-Davies emulated Lita and fired his team to a 4-0 success against MABI in Malmo.

Leicester were involved in a 12-goal thriller as they defeated Unibond Division One South outfit Quorn 8-4.5-0.
