Stoke City manager Tony Pulis heaps praise upon his players and the club's supporters following the Potters' 3-1 victory over Liverpool.

Stoke City manager Tony Pulis has heaped praise upon his players and the club's supporters following tonight's 3-1 win over Liverpool.

The Potters moved up to eighth in the Premier League table with the victory, which came thanks to two goals from Jonathan Walters and a Kenwyne Jones header.

Pulis was a little disappointed with Robert Huth and Ryan Shawcross, who conceded an early penalty for pulling down Luis Suarez.

However, he has described the rest of the team's performance as "superb".

He told BBC Sport: "We might not be last on Match of the Day tonight.

"Our two centre-halves were off it a bit tonight but everyone else was superb.

"The response to going behind was the greatest thing. We were fantastic, and they were helped by 28,000 supporters."

Stoke are unbeaten in nine top-flight matches.
