Stoke boss Hughes full of praise for goalscorer Bojan Krkic

Stoke City boss Mark Hughes hailed Bojan Krkic's goalscoring performance for victory at Tottenham.

Hughes couldn't avoid singing Bojan's praises after keeping faith with him for a third successive game and being rewarded by the little matador's first senior goal for the club.

And he was quick to praise his defensive contribution to the cause this afternoon.

"I thought tactically him and Mame Diouf played a big part because they had jobs to do off the ball and thankfully they did it to perfection, along with many others.

"We got people back into shape quickly and looked to counter, and they couldn't deal with it.

"Tottenham didn't really create a great deal of any note," Hughes continued, "and when they did Asmir (Begovic) came to the fore."
