Stoke boss Pulis shrugs off Thun ruck after Euro victory

Stoke City boss Tony Pulis shrugged of their final whistle ruck with FC Thun after last night's win.

Thun keeper David Da Costa got a 90th-minute red card for dragging down Jonathan Walters outside the area when he was clean through on goal.

The Swiss league leaders didn't have a keeper on the bench - and so midfielder Stephan Andrist went in and made a fantastic stoppage-time save to deny Walters.

But furious Thun boss Bernard Challandes had to be restrained at the end as he vented his anger, while Stoke manager Pulis steered his players clear of Challandes in the tunnel afterwards.

Pulis played down the incident, saying: "I didn't see anything. I heard a scream but I don't know what it was. I was miles away."

Challandes said: "Let's just say I don't think we got a fair proportion of the decisions."
