Tony Pulis: 'Peter Crouch is a great, great player'

Stoke City boss Tony Pulis has described Peter Crouch as a "great, great player" after the striker's goal earned his side a point against Manchester United.

Nani had put the visitors ahead, but the Potters' £10m summer signing drew them level with a trademark header, and Pulis was delighted with his contribution.

"He's grabbed hold of what we're all about: the spirit and commitment and everybody together," said the Welshman.

"He'll be a very good signing for this football club and other players will learn off him as well. He's a great, great player."

Stoke's next game is a Europa League group match against Besiktas at home on Thursday.
