Manager Tony Pulis prefers to talk about his his side's performance, and not referee Chris Foy, after Stoke's 2-1 win at home to Spurs.

Stoke City manager Tony Pulis refused to dwell on referee Chris Foy after his side's 2-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur at the Britannia Stadium.

The official made a number of controversial decisions as Matthew Etherington's brace secured the three points for the hosts.

"Let's not talk about the referee, let's talk about the football," Pulis told Sky Sports News. "We got a little bit of luck but you can't fault our players, they really deserved their luck.

"It was a cracking game for everyone to watch. We came off on the right end of it (the luck) but other weeks it's gone against us. We've played Liverpool, Man United, Chelsea and now Tottenham at home this season and we're unbeaten. It helps when you have a crowd like we have."

The win has lifted the Potters up to eighth in the Premier League table.
