Stoke City boss Tony Pulis was proud of his players after they collected a point at Liverpool yesterday.

While Stoke benefitted from a wrong offside in the opening minutes to deny Steven Gerrard his 100th goal for Liverpool, Pulis insisted: "I would rather recall what a fantastic performance it was by my team.

"To come to Anfield against a really great team and get a point like that is very pleasing.

"My players fought for everything, they won everything in the air and that is pleasing because the longer it goes at Anfield with you under the cosh, the more chance is that they will finally get one."
