Stoke City made it three-successive wins on Saturday (Nov 20) with a superb 3-0 win over Midlands rivals West Bromwich Albion.
The match-winning second-half performance included converted penalties from Matthew Etherington and Jon Walters.
Walters rubbed salt into West Brom wounds three minutes into injury time as he shot and then reacted quickest to the rebound.
Speaking after the match, Tony Pulis said he was delighted with his side’s performance.
He added: “It is a massive win. We have played better before in some games away from home and not picked up any points so I am pleased.
“They shaded the first-half but as soon as we scored the first goal I could not see anybody else winning it.”
The Potters run is on the back of five successive defeats in the league and cups, but Pulis said this reaction from the players is a sign of good character.
He added: “It is another great result for the players. We have won two local derby’s and beaten Liverpool.
“The players thrive on confidence but we will try and stay as level headed as we can but it is such a tough league.”
