QPR skipper Joey Barton has thanked Stoke City fans who pelted him with coins yesterday.

Barton was part of the QPR team that won 3-2.

On his way home he tweeted: "Thanks to all the Stoke fans who threw money at me whilst I was on corner duties.

"It's much appreciated, I'll pass on to charity."

He then added: "First time I've ever played that well that the other fans have tipped me.

"It's something when the ­opposition fans, tip u. Thanks again."
