Stoke City boss Tony Pulis had no problem with Burnley's attempt to negate Rory Delap's scud throw-ins for last night's 1-1 draw.

The Clarets moved the advertising hoardings closer to the pitch at Turf Moor in the hope of taking the edge off the midfielder's missiles.

However, the ploy failed with Delap launching the ball into the area for Mamady Sidibe to flick on and Tuncay to opening the scoring in the 23rd minute.

Burnley, though, hit back in the second half and David Nugent equalised in the 52nd minute in a 1-1 draw following a superb cross from Martin Paterson.

Pulis said: "We noticed what they had done as soon as we came out. We get on with it, it is their club, it's their ground.

"They have to do what they have to do. You take it and get on with it. I don't care where a goal comes from. It is always satisfying scoring.

"Because he was a javelin thrower as well, Rory has that technique obviously down to a treat."
