Stoke City boss Tony Pulis felt Jon Walters should've done better in defeat at Newcastle United.

Pulis was left to reflect on missed opportunities, although in truth, the Magpies could have won even more handsomely.

He said: "Jon Walters really could have scored a hat-trick by himself. The main difference was they got in good scoring opportunities and hit the target; we got in good scoring opportunities and we didn't hit the target.

"I don't think their keeper had a save to make. I am not picking on Jon - Jon has been fantastic for us. He's a great lad and he kept going and kept going.

"But he had three great chances today by himself, never mind the rest of the team."
