Pulis proud of Potters

Stoke manager Tony Pulis was delighted with his side's comprehensive 3-0 Premier League victory against West Brom.
The Potters netted three times in the second half to extend their winning run to three games and move up to eighth position in the Premier League.
Matthew Etherington's penalty put the visitors 1-0 up in the just before the hour mark and then substitute Jon Walters came on as a late second-half substitute to bag a brace at The Hawthorns.
The 27-year-old, who signed for the Potters in the summer transfer window from Ipswich, has struggled to make an impression at the club but Pulis was delighted with his contribution as well as the team's fighting spirit.
Pulis told Sky Sports: "Sometimes we've played better away from home and not had the good fortune, so we're very pleased to pick all three points up.
"We showed good character. It's the first time we've won three games on the bounce in the Premier League so it's very good for us."
Although the game was tight for long periods before Stoke broke the deadlock, Pulis praised their opponents.
"West Brom are a good side and they passed the ball well but since the first goal went in we looked as though we would go on and win the game.
"We were in the bottom three just a couple of games ago, so the most important thing is to get the lads prepared for Manchester City next Saturday.
"The win is great and I'm sure they will enjoy themselves but we have to prepare for City starting on Monday morning."
Meanwhile, goalscorer Walters was pleased with the impact he made in last 10 minutes.
He said: "I'm happy to come on and do well. We're happy with the three points.
"Until the lads took the lead, it was a tight game but overall, it was a good away win for us.
"We had a good little run at the start of the season and it's good to have another good one, so we have to keep it going now and look ahead to the next game."
