Stoke City<\/a> boss Tony Pulis<\/a> was more than happy with a point against Chelsea<\/a> after an entertaining match from both sides at the Britannia Stadium.<\/p>\n

Chelsea were favorites to win but the Potters held on to a single point that could go a long way in avoiding relegation this season.<\/p>\n

Pulis was content with not only the 1-1 result, but the manner in which it was achieved.<\/p>\n

“I was pleased. I thought it was a great start and John Walters produced a great goal,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“Then we sat back and gave them the impetus. In the last 20 minutes of the first-half they showed what a great team they are.<\/p>\n

“They passed the ball ever so well. Sat from the edge of the pitch, if you get your numbers across they switch play wuikcly with the opposite full-back and they pick your pocket.<\/p>\n

“They are a very good side at doing that and we had too many players before they scored the goal who sat back and let them pass it around.<\/p>\n

“Second half, we pushed onto them and with better quality balls up to Kenywne Jones we got more bodies up there.<\/p>\n

“It made for a very, very entertaining game.”<\/p>\n

Stoke City now sit more comfortably in tenth place on 38 points, six clear of the relegation zone. <\/p>\n

Pulis was happy with the way both sides played and credits his entire staff for the result.<\/p>\n

“We had the chances to win it but Cheslea are a very, very good team. You have to give them credit,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“They’ve got a massive, Champions League game with Manchester United on Wedneday and I thought their attitiude was first class.<\/p>\n

“You’ve got to give the managers and the players full credit as it was a really tough game for us.”<\/p>\n
