Stoke City boss Tony Pulis has warned Steven Nzonzi not to react to the wind-up merchants after last week's incidents at Fulham.

Pulis has had to warn him about his temper.

Pulis said: "He's getting a reputation as a good footballer and in the last month people have wound him up.

"He's got to learn to handle that and take it as a compliment.

"What people forget is he's only 24 - he's not an experienced player."
