Stoke City boss Tony Pulis was delighted seeing Jon Walters grab a double in victory over West Bromwich Albion.

Walters scored a brace to cap the week in which the striker had made his debut for the Republic of Ireland.

"It is brilliant," said Pulis. "I spoke to (assistant manager) Dave Kemp before the game and I really wanted to get Jon on after he had made his debut for the Republic this week.

"It has given him such a boost and you just want to get him on there."
