Dean scored a free kick and converted two penalties leading Ferguson to sing his praises afterwards. Deano has been kept out the first team so far this term by summer arrival Toumani Diagouraga but this timely reminder encouraged Fergie Jnr to say:
"Dean was excellent and we all know what he is capable of. He hasn't played anywhere near as much as he would like this season, but both Dean and Toumani play in a similar role in front of the back four.
