Plamen Markov's men were slaughtered 6-1 as Savo Milosevic ran riot in his 102nd and final international appearance.

The former Aston Villa striker netted twice in Belgrade, but he would have bagged four had he converted a pair of early spot-kicks.

"The emotions got the better of me when I took the penalties as my concentration dropped but I was delighted to go out with a brace, this match kind of summed up my entire career which has been full of ups and downs," Milosevic said in The Guardian.

Despite those lucky escapes, Bulgaria had enough to worry about at half-time after Manchester United forward Berbatov hobbled off the pitch with a suspected hamstring tear.

The news will not go down well at Old Trafford, especially as Wayne Rooney is less than 100 per cent after contracting a chest infection last week.
