Pulis 'delighted' with 3 points




Stoke City manager Tony Pulis was delighted with his team's last-gasp 1-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns in the Premier League on Sunday.

Ryan Shotton took advantage of a defensive mix-up between goalkeeper Ben Foster and centre-back Gabriel Tamas on 89 minutes to slot home the only goal of the game.

Although it has been alleged that the Stoke substitute kicked the ball out of Foster's hands, Pulis says that he will still take the result.

"If we got a decision go our way, then fine," he said. "During this season, we will have a lot go against us.

"It all evens itself up. If we got away with one, it is bad luck for Roy and good luck for us and Stoke. But I thought it was a goal. I don't think Ryan caught the 'keeper at all.

"To be honest, I didn't look at the linesman thinking it was going to be a free-kick."

The Potters are now in the top half of the league standings with five points from three matches and welcome Liverpool to the Britannia Stadium in their next fixture after the international break.
