Fulham manager Martin Jol has insisted that his strikeforce of Darren Bent and Dimitar Berbatov can score the goals required for the Cottagers to finish clear of relegation in the Premier League this season.

The strikers scored a goal each as Fulham beat Everton 2-1 in the League Cup on Tuesday night, and Jol is confident that they can translate that form to the league sooner rather than later.

"I thought at the start of the season we did not have enough goals in us," he told BBC Sport.

"This game showed me, with Darren Bent and Dimitar Berbatov on the scoresheet, that we have got enough quality."

Fulham have scored just three times in the Premier League in their opening five games of the season.
